Cricket

Cricket was a bat and ball game. It was played using a flat-faced bat and specially designed cricket balls on a cricket pitch.

The Doctor appreciated the game in many of his incarnations, but it was his fifth self that seemed the keenest on the game. Not only did the Fifth Doctor dress in cricket whites, but he took every opportunity to play it, (DW: Black Orchid, BFA: Autumn; MA: Goth Opera) teach his companions its rules (BFA: Phantasmagoria) and attend famous matches, usually called "tests". (BFA: The Roof of the World, Nekromanteia; ST: Graham Dilley Saves the World)

The Doctor's companions were almost universally unimpressed with the game, and resisted the Doctor's attempts at proselytisation. Indeed, when Roz innocently asked the Seventh Doctor the question, "What's cricket?", Bernice Summerfield immediately interjected, "I think that's in the top ten of the most dangerous questions in the universe, right up there with 'Excuse me, Mr Dalek, what does that stick do?'" (NA: Happy Endings)

Some of the Doctor's involvement with cricket
The First Doctor interrupted a cricket game whilst attempting to escape the Daleks and the Monk over the Time Destructor. (DW: The Daleks' Master Plan)

The Fourth Doctor drew inspiration from cricket to avoid destruction of the TARDIS when colliding with a large planetary body. (DW:The Horns of Nimon)

Cricket was a sport at the Olympic Games in 2060. (BFA: Nekromanteia)

The Fifth Doctor intended to play cricket upon his visit to the Eye of Orion. (EDA: The Eight Doctors)

John Smith used a cricket ball to stop a woman with a perambulator from being crushed by a piano. (DW: Human Nature) The Tenth Doctor mentioned this when talking to his fifth incarnation. (DW: Time Crash)

Amy Pond hit the Eleventh Doctor with a cricket bat and knocked him unconscious when he broke into her house. (DW: The Eleventh Hour)

The Eleventh Doctor momentarily mistook football for another game (possibly cricket) when he asked, "Football... that's the one with the sticks, right?" (DW: The Lodger)
