A female in Indian garb supporting cricket side, observing game, perhaps? (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

on safari

'observing game perhaps?' is the definition.
(observing game animals)

'a female in indian garb supporting cricket side' is the wordplay.
'a female' becomes 'fa' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'indian garb' becomes 'sari' (type of Indian garment).
'supporting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (in a down clue, some letters go below others).
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'fa' placed inside 'sari' is 'safari'.
'safari' put after 'on' is 'ON SAFARI'.

(Another definition for on safari that I've seen is " holidaying in Africa?".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
