An old article about cricket side, no matter who’s involved? (6)
I believe the answer is:
anyone
'no matter who's involved?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'an old article about cricket side' is the wordplay.
'old article' becomes 'ye' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'ye' enclosing 'on' is 'yone'.
'an'+'yone'='ANYONE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for anyone that I've seen before include "Pick a person - doesn't matter who" , "Anybody at all" , "Animal-hunting trip" , "Whosoever" , "No particular person" .)
