How to read this table

How batting numbers change with age, gathered as a group from the past seasons of players who are still active.

  • Past seasons are counted only for players who are still active.

The estimated figures are worked out by this site and are not official announcements.

How to read the figure and the table

The population is the past seasons of players who are still active; retired players are not included.

The vertical value is the numbers for each age band set against the highest band at 100. The underlying figures are not published. The dots are this season's individual values and can go above 100.

Age bands with few players are merged with the neighbouring band.
