Are they mating? Is the wasp eating the cricket? Are they trying to enter the same hole at the same time?
It will not be its meal but it's for its progeny that will feed on this paralized but living cricket.
These wasps make their nests inside tubes, holes and put grass inside to close them.

Here are two pictures of this little nests that you can easily find near the edges of your windows. One is broken and you can see the content, and in the other pic I put 1 €cent coin for size comparison.
I have to thank this great forum that helped me a lot with species identification.
