Of German parentage, Stricker was born in Beaconsfield, Kimberley. A few years later his family moved to Johannesburg, where he attended the Marist Brothers school.[1]

A batsman, Stricker scored two centuries in first-class cricket: 103 for Transvaal against the touring English team in 1909-10 (when he shared an opening partnership of 215 with Billy Zulch), and 146 against South Australia when he toured Australia with the South Africans in 1910-11.[2][3] He was less successful in Test cricket, with a top score of 48 in his 13 matches, scored twice: against Australia in Adelaide in 1910-11, when South Africa beat Australia for the first time, and against Australia at Lord's in the 1912 Triangular Tournament.[4] His brother Henry was also a first-class cricketer.
