definition: Cricket is an English game played outdoors with a ball and bat by two teams of eleven members each. The bat looks quite different from a baseball bat. A cricket bat is somewhat flat and it's wider than a baseball bat. The game is quite different too, although there is running, batting, and trying to catch the ball.
Players of cricket wear white clothes.
