Beyond the calculator

How this was worked out
- 1Add the runs62 + 41 + 5 extras = 108
- 2Add the balls48 + 39 = 87 balls, which is 14.3 overs
- 3Divide runs by overs108 / 14.5000 = 7.45
How the number is worked out
The formula
Partnership = runs of batter A + runs of batter B + extras during the stand- runs of each batter
- Runs off the bat scored while the two were together.
- extras
- Wides, no balls, byes and leg byes during the stand. They count towards the partnership but towards neither batter.
- balls
- The two batters' balls faced added together, which is the length of the stand.
Each batter's share is worked out from runs off the bat only, because extras belong to neither of them.
A worked example: a middle order stand
Imran makes 62 from 48 balls and Zaheer 41 from 39 while they are together, with 5 extras during the stand.
- 1Add the runs62 + 41 + 5 extras = 108
- 2Add the balls48 + 39 = 87 balls, which is 14.3 overs
- 3Partnership run rate108 / 14.5 = 7.45 an over
- 4Share off the batImran 62 of 103 = 60.2 per cent, Zaheer 39.8 per cent
A stand of 108 in 14.3 overs at 7.45 an over. Imran made 60 per cent of the runs off 55 per cent of the balls, so the strike was shared fairly evenly.
Rules and edge cases
The situations that change the answer, and the ones most calculators get wrong.
Extras belong to the partnership but to neither batter
A wide during a stand adds a run to the partnership without adding to either batter's score. That is why the two shares are worked out from runs off the bat only. Add extras into a share and the percentages stop adding up to a hundred.
A partnership ends when either batter is out, not when the over does
The stand runs from the moment the second batter arrives until one of them is dismissed or the innings ends. A retirement ends it too. Balls faced by both count towards its length even if only one of them was scoring.
Share of the strike matters as much as share of the runs
A batter who made 60 per cent of the runs off 40 per cent of the balls was farming the strike, which is a very different innings from one who made 60 per cent off 60 per cent. Both figures are shown here for that reason.
An unbroken stand still counts
A partnership that is still going when the innings ends is recorded as unbroken, usually written with an asterisk. It counts in full for records and for the run rate.
Frequently asked questions
Add both batters' runs scored while they were together, plus any extras during the stand. The balls faced by both added together gives the length of the partnership.
For clubs and coaches
Every partnership recorded, without anyone writing it down
Crickslab tracks each stand as the match is scored, so partnership records, strike share and the wagon wheel for every pair are there afterwards without a scorer reconstructing them.
