Team squad of the 1979 Cricket World Cup

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is an overview of the 1979 Cricket World Cup squad . The teams are sorted alphabetically.

Explanation of the data

The following cricket statistics are listed:

Batting
  • Innings : Number of innings the batsman has been deployed.
  • Runs : Total number of runs made by the batsman.
  • Batting Average : Total number of runs divided by the number of innings the batsman was knocked out.
  • Highest Score (HS) : Highest score achieved by the batsman in an innings. An asterisk (*) means the batsman was not eliminated in the innings.
  • 100s : Innings in which the batsman has scored 100 or more runs.
  • 50s : Innings in which the batsman has scored between 50 and 99 runs.
bowling
  • Overs : Number of overs completed. An over consists of six balls, so the point is not a decimal point.
  • Maidens : Number of over in which the bowler has not made any runs.
  • Wickets : number of batsmen thrown out.
  • Best Bowling Index (BBI) : Most successful bowling performance. The wickets count first, so 5/22 is more successful than 4/19.
  • 5W : Number of innings in which the bowler has reached five or more wickets.
  • Bowling Average : Total number of runs submitted divided by the number of wickets.
