Obvious method to bag runs - fielding error (9)
I believe the answer is:
overthrow
'fielding error' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
'obvious method to bag runs' is the wordplay.
'obvious' becomes 'overt' (similar in meaning).
'method' becomes 'how' (I've seen this in another clue).
'to bag' indicates putting letters inside.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'how' placed around 'r' is 'hrow'.
'overt'+'hrow'='OVERTHROW'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overthrow that I've seen before include "fling taken too far?" , "Bring down rulers" , "Dethrone or oust" , "Trevor who? (anag)" , "Subvert" .)
