What is strike rate in cricket?

Understand batting strike rate, bowling strike rate and the denominators required for each.

Batting strike rate is 100 multiplied by runs divided by balls faced. Bowling strike rate is legal balls divided by wickets. Both require a recorded denominator. A dash means the source did not record the required balls or wickets; it is not a zero.
