Bowled at cricketer (3)

I believe the answer is:
bat
'cricketer' is the definition.
(batsman)
'bowled at' is the wordplay.
'bowled' becomes 'b' (cricket abbreviation).
'b'+'at'='BAT'
(Other definitions for bat that I've seen before include "Nocturnal flier" , "Night-flyer" , "Nocturnal mouselike mammal" , "Small flying mammal - like 11 Across" , "Club used in cricket" .)
