cricket

I've never heard it used as a verb, but I see it's listed as such in OED. The usages date from the 19th century, however.

And there is cricketing too.

Perhaps it is the case that the verb is simply never used in its basic form "to cricket". (Unless you count "to cricket the neck in an attempt to see opera surtitles from the cheap seat in the front row of the stalls".)

Interesting, frindley. I've never heard it used as a verb, either. On the other hand, we have cricketers (not just "cricket players"), who presumably cricket in the same way that builders build, dancers dance, pole-vaulters pole-vault, etc.

The definitions claim that "cricket" can be a verb. I have never heard anyone use cricket that way, and I live in a land where the game (noun) reigns supreme!

There is also the idiom: "It's just not cricket." (That's unfair. Bad sportsmanship.)

User: Do you dig cricket?
Bot: I digest me.
User: Most unfortunate, old pie-crust. I was wishing to discuss the merits of Ponting's off drive.
Bot: Aren't you able to understand what I was asking for?
User: And what was that, poppet?
Bot: I don't remember.

Crickets hear through their knees.

Ooh hoo wah ha ha...

Awesome! I'm listed!

"From the appearance of the tree-top, at a little distance, you would expect nothing but lichens to drop from it, but your faith is rewarded by finding the ground strewn with spirited fruit,--some of it, perhaps, collected at squirrel-holes, with the marks of their teeth by which they carried them,--some containing a cricket or two silently feeding within, and some, especially in damp days, a shelless snail." - 'Wild Apples', Henry David Thoreau.
