Cricket (noun): a game played with a ball and bar by two sides of usually 11 players each on a large field centering upon two wickets each defended by a batsman.

“Near the Chemistry building, a group of South Asian students played cricket: a regular Saturday engagement, I would come to learn.”

“Walk with Me” – David L Ulin

Upon first inspection this sport sounds very similar to baseball however one key difference is in that of the inclusion of the wickets; which baseball does not have. If the reader was from the USA and had not been interested in sports they would not have known or understood this statement as it is not played here, similarly as to how many people believe football is played with your hands and throwing it.
