Strike Rate (cricket)
Strike rate refers to two different statistics in the sport of cricket. Batting strike rate is a measure of how quickly a batter achieves the primary goal of batting, namely scoring runs, measured in runs per 100 balls; higher is better. Bowling strike rate is a measure of how quickly a bowler achieves the primary goal of bowling, namely taking wickets (i.e. getting batters out), measured in balls per wicket; lower is better.

Cricket Statistics
Cricket is a sport that generates a variety of statistics. Statistics are recorded for each player during a match, and aggregated over a career. At the professional level, statistics for Test cricket, One Day International (ODI), and first-class cricket are recorded separately. However, since Test matches are a form of first-class cricket, a player's first-class statistics will ''include'' their Test match statistics – but not vice versa. Nowadays, records are also maintained for List A cricket, List A and Twenty20 matches. These matches are normally limited over games played domestically at the national level by leading Test nations. Since one-day internationals are a form of List A limited over matches, a player's List A statistics will ''include'' their ODI match statistics – but not vice versa.
