<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">batsman facing bowler</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for striker that I've seen before include "A forward on a soccer team" , "refusing to play?" , "Soccer player whose main function is to score goals" , "One refusing to work - rings the bell" , "Goalscorer" .)
