Crazy fellows running to and fro? (7)

I believe the answer is:

batsmen

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crazy fellows running to and fro?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'crazy fellows' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'bats' (bats can informally mean crazy).
'fellows' becomes 'men' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bats'+'men'='BATSMEN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for batsmen that I've seen is " They defend the wicket".)
