In [[cricket]], a '''bowling analysis''' (sometimes shortened to just '''analysis''', especially in the phrase '''innings analysis''', and also referred to as '''bowling figures''') usually refers to a notation summarising a [[bowler (cricket)|bowler]]'s performance in terms of [[over (cricket)|overs]] bowled, how many of those overs are [[Over_(cricket)#Maiden_over|maidens]] (i.e. with no runs conceded), total [[run (cricket)|runs]] conceded and number of [[wicket (cricket)|wickets]] taken.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/bowling%20analysis |title=Definition: bowling analysis |work=[[Merriam-Webster]] |publisher=[[Encyclopædia Britannica]] |access-date=29 January 2012}}</ref> Bowling analyses are generally given for each [[innings]] in cricket scoreboards printed in ''[[Wisden Cricketers' Almanack]]'', newspapers and so on, but they are also sometimes quoted for other periods of time, such as a single spell of bowling. Typically, the analysis is given in the following format: Overs – Maidens – Runs conceded – Wickets. <br />
<br />
In some cases, overs and maidens are omitted from bowling figures, and are recorded showing 'Wickets/Runs'; for example, 7/15 by [[Glenn McGrath]] against [[Namibia national cricket team|Namibia]] shows he took his 7 wickets for 15 runs.<ref>{{Cite news | url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/cwc2003/hi/newsid_2810000/newsid_2810400/2810453.stm | title = Key battles: Australia v England | date = 1 March 2003 | access-date = 27 August 2013 | work=BBC News}}</ref><br />
<br />
Sometimes, in [[limited overs cricket]], the 'maidens' figure is replaced by the number of [[Glossary_of_cricket_terms#D|dot balls]] bowled.<br />
<br />
In [[Test cricket]], the best bowling analysis for a single innings is 10/53 by [[Jim Laker]].<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/records/283203.html | title = Records / Test matches / Bowling records / Best figures in an innings<br />
