Calculating Bowling Strike Rate in cricket

Bowling Strike Rate is a measure of average number of balls bowled for every wicket taken.
The lower the strike rate, the more effective a bowler is at taking wickets quickly.
It is simply the number of balls bowled divided by the number of wickets taken.

i.e Bowling Strike rate = Total No.of Balls Bowled / Total No.of Wickets Taken

Example:
If a bowler has bowled 7000 balls in his career and has taken 165 wickets

Bowling Strike rate = 7000 / 165
Bowling Strike is 42.42
i.e he takes a wicket in every 42.42 deliveries
