Fighting

n. combat, battle

adj. militant, combative, warlike

v. battle; combat; wrestle; advance through great effort

The ComBat was an aluminium cricket bat and the subject of an incident that occurred at the WACA cricket ground in Perth in December of 1979. Australia were playing England, and were in trouble at the end of the first day, at a score of 232/8 with Dennis Lillee not out . When the second day of play began, Lillee emerged onto the field carrying not the traditional willow bat, but a cricket bat made from aluminium. The bat, manufactured by the company of Lillee's good friend Graham Monoghan, was intended only as a cheap replacement for traditional cricket bats for schools and developing countries. Nevertheless, Lillee decided to use it in the Test match as a marketing stunt, and at that point, there were no rules against using such a bat. This was not the first time Lillee had used an aluminium bat, as he had employed one 12 days perivously in a Test against the West Indies, without incident.

Combat, or fighting, is purposeful violent conflict intended to establish dominance over the opposition.The term "combat" (French for "fight") typically refers to armed conflict between military forces in warfare, whereas the more general term "fighting" can refer to any violent conflict, including boxing and wrestling matches. Combat violence can be unilateral, whereas fighting implies at least a defensive reaction. However, the terms are often used synonymously.
