Sound of cattle crossing river by cricket club: love the country! (7)
I believe the answer is:
morocco
'the country' is the definition.
(Morocco is an example)
'sound of cattle crossing river by cricket club love' is the wordplay.
'sound of cattle' becomes 'moo' (noise made by cows).
'crossing' indicates putting letters inside (to cross can mean to go over or around).
'river by' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'cricket club' becomes 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'moo' enclosing 'r' is 'moro'.
'moro'+'cc'+'o'='MOROCCO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for morocco that I've seen before include "Rabat its capital" , "Casablanca's country" , "Country of fine leather" , "state of Africa" , "N. African country" .)
