Bat and ball game (7)

I believe the answer is:

cricket

(Other definitions for cricket that I've seen before include "Insect with long leg" , "little creature" , "short leg seen on this field?" , "Six-footer" , "English game or chirping insect" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
