Diamond game segments
Innings is a division of play in cricket or baseball during which one team bats.
In cricket, a single innings (the word is both singular and plural) can last hours or days; in baseball, an inning consists of each team batting once.
By extension, a long innings means a full life well lived: He had a good innings.
