===Test cricket=== In [[Test cricket]], [[George Lohmann]] is listed as having the superior average by each of the ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]'', [[ESPNcricinfo]] and CricketArchive. Though all three use different restrictions, Lohmann's average of 10.75 is considered the best.<ref name="CATest"/><ref name="WTest"/><ref name="CITest"/> If no qualification criteria were applied at all, three players—[[Wilf Barber]], [[A. N. Hornby]] and [[Bruce Murray (cricketer)|Bruce Murray]]—would tie for the best average, all having claimed just one wicket in Test matches, without conceding any runs, thus averaging zero.<ref name="CITestn">{{cite news|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283903.html|title=Records / Test matches / Bowling records / Best career bowling average (without qualification) |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=6 January 2013}}</ref> ESPNcricinfo list [[Betty Wilson]] as having the best [[Women's Test cricket]] average with 11.80,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283916.html |title=Records / Women's Test matches / Bowling records / Best career bowling average |work=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=6 January 2013}}</ref> while CricketArchive accept [[Mary Spear]]'s average of 5.78.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Records/Womens_Test/Overall/Bowling/Lowest_Career_Bowling_Average.html |title=Women's Test Lowest Career Bowling Average |website=CricketArchive |access-date=6 January 2013}}</ref>
