Australian Batting Averages - 3 runs was Glenn McGrath’s total for the 2003 World Cup. What was his average?
The correct answer is '0 (or undefined)'
In cricket if you score all your runs not out, you have an average of zero (see previous interesting info). McGrath’s runs were from one innings where he didn’t get out. His 3 not out came against New Zealand. These were his first runs ever in a World Cup; before he scored them he held the record of having played the most World Cup matches without ever scoring a run. The main reason for this is because Australia has always had a strong batting lineup and McGrath is the weakest, batting at No. 11.
