Game insect (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cricket

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'game' is the first definition.
(I know that cricket is a type of bat-and-ball game)

'insect' is the second definition.
(I know that cricket is a type of orthopteran)

(Other definitions for cricket that I've seen before include "Game - "basically baseball on Valium" (Robin Williams)" , "Insect - sport" , "short leg seen on this field?" , "Jumping insect" , "a jumper" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
