Solution

Consistency can measured by calculating the standard deviation, which, in simple terms, seeks to measure the average deviation that each score is from the overall mean. The lower the standard deviation, the lower the variation in the scores.
To allow comparison of consistency between different players, Divide the calculated standard deviation by the batting average (ignoring the last innings if it was "not out").
