Breakdown

Per format, per season

The player id comes from players.

What the response carries

The response is an array holding one player record with these fields.

The summary is per format and per year

The career record is not one set of totals. summary holds one entry per format, across Tests, ODIs and T20Is, and each entry splits into batting, bowling and fielding lists.

Each of those lists holds one entry per year, and each year carries a statistics list of displayName and value pairs. A single career total is something you compute rather than read.

The statistics described for each discipline are listed below.

Batting

Matches, innings, runs, fours, sixes, fifties, hundreds, balls faced, ducks, not outs, high score, batting average and strike rate.

Bowling

Matches, innings, overs, runs conceded, maidens, wickets, four and five wicket hauls, bowling average, economy rate and bowling strike rate.

Fielding

Matches, innings, dismissals, catches, stumpings, catches as wicketkeeper, catches as fielder, maximum dismissals in an innings, and dismissals per innings.
