Small wheeled vehicle: judge speed of runs? (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strike rate

'speed of runs?' is the definition.
(rate of scoring runs)

'small wheeled vehicle judge' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is present in the answer.
'vehicle' could be 'trike' (short for tricycle) and 'trike' is located in the answer.
'judge' could be 'rate' (rating is a kind of judging) and 'rate' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Times.
