testmatch

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

'a game of cricket' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'trial getting striker' is the wordplay.
'trial' becomes 'test' (synonyms).
'getting' says to put letters next to each other.
'striker' becomes 'match' (a match can be struck).
'test'+'match'='TESTMATCH'

Can you help me to learn more?
