A game insect? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cricket

This clue is a double definition.

'a game' is the first definition.
(cricket is a kind of game)

'insect?' is the second definition.
(cricket is a kind of insect)

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

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