MOST CONSISTENT TEST BATSMAN
(cut-off: 750 runs)
(cut-off: 750 runs)
AB de Villiers - Consistency index 1.85
In 13 Test innings in 2013, de Villiers scored 50 or more nine times, between 30 and 49 twice, and between 13 and 20 twice. He wasn't dismissed for a single-digit score even once in Tests in the entire year. His lack of failures meant his standard deviation - which is a measure of the average distance from the mean - was a comparatively low 42.03. That, combined with his average of 77.75, gave him a consistency index (average divided by standard deviation) of 1.85, which was the best among all batsmen who scored 750-plus Test runs in 2013. The two other batsmen who ran him close were Pujara and Taylor. Pujara had a standard deviation of 58.16, and a consistency index of 1.30, while Taylor's deviation was 57.32, and his consistency index 1.26.
