クリケット
解説 Definition
cricketing は cricket（クリケットをする、またはクリケット）の -ing 形で、クリケットに関することやクリケットをすることを表します。スポーツとしてのクリケットについて述べる文脈で使われます。

覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
cricketing は cricket「クリケット」に -ing を付けた形で、発音は /ˈkrɪkɪtɪŋ/。例文では cricketing skills、cricketing tradition のように名詞の前で「クリケットに関する」を表します。cricketer が競技者、cricketing が競技活動やその世界・文化を指すという役割の違いで覚えましょう。
Build cricketing directly from cricket plus -ing, pronounced /ˈkrɪkɪtɪŋ/. In many modern examples it comes before another noun and means “connected with cricket”: cricketing skills, a cricketing tradition, a cricketing career, or the cricketing world. It can also refer more generally to the activity of playing the sport. Contrast it with cricketer, which names a person who plays cricket. Picture a player developing cricketing skills during a summer season to keep the form and meaning together.
例文

彼のクリケットの技術は夏の間に上達しました。
The town has a long cricketing tradition.
その町には長いクリケットの伝統があります。
She joined a cricketing club at her university.

Cricketing is formed from cricket and the suffix -ing, which can name an activity or create a modifier relating to that activity.
