Derogatory for an Indian (Asian) person. Thought to have come from British Colonial in India, coined by British expats/ colonists.
The British, with a long history of playing the game of cricket, did so in India during the 17th century and beyond. The local Indians seeing this new game became curious. Not to make the colonial masters upset, they would stay up late into the night, and sneak in games of cricket under a full moon.
This became a regular tradition, and soon the Indians were allowed to play during the day. But the term stuck...
Moon Cricket, derived from the Indian slaves sneaking in games of cricket at night.

Get the Moon-Cricketmug. by John Spurlock May 13, 2005
Get the moon cricketmug. A dark entity; Habitat is within a 5 yard radius from front porch. Night visibility is difficult to an untrained eye, special equipment needed.
We bought some delectable cuts of meat from the butcher the other day, seasoned them, and grilled them to perfection- then that moon cricket poured BBQ sauce all over it!
Id like to try pickled pigs feet, but all those moon crickets keep dipping their fingers in the jar...
Somebody tell those moon crickets to stop yelling at the movie screen!
Tell Randy Shannon to stop putting that Moon Cricket in at QB!
