	Bowling average Information
		Bowling average is a statistic measuring the performance of bowlers in the sport of cricket.
		A bowler's bowling average is defined as the total number of runs conceded by the bowler divided by the number of wickets taken by the bowler, so the lower the average the better.
		Career records for bowling average are usually subject to a qualification of a minimum number of balls bowled or wickets taken, to avoid including artificially high or low averages resulting from a career spanning only a few matches.

		An innings, or inning, is a fixed-length segment of a game in any of a variety of sports â€“ most notably baseball and cricket â€“; during which one team attempts to score while the other team attempts to prevent the first from scoring.
		Vaughan was appointed captain of the England one-day international side in 2003, and suddenly became captain of the England Test team on 28th July 2003, after scoring a magnificent 156 in the first Test against South Africa, when Nasser Hussain resigned after England had narrowly clung on for a draw.
		Vaughan's animosity with Smith was further fuelled when Smith acted as a witness during the trial of his case with match-referee Clive Lloyd, where he had mildly {and correctly} rebuked the umpires for having called off play in bright conditions the previous day which resulted in Vaughan being fined his entire match-fee.

		For instance, if you averaged 225 a game with a standard deviation of 25, a 300 game would be 3 standard deviations above the mean, which you would expect to see less than.15% of the time, or 1 time every 667.
		Second, it implies that your bowling scores are randomly distributed around your mean score and are unrelated to each other, the latter of which I'm 100% sure is not true.
		However, bowling a perfect game does not occur at the center of the distribution of games; rather, it occurs far out on the tail of the distribution.
