A lad's out - bowled perhaps (5)
I believe the answer is:
salad
'a lad's out bowled perhaps' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'a lad's out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'a'+'lads'='alads'
'alads' with letters rearranged gives 'SALAD'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for salad that I've seen before include "A dish of lettuce and vegetables" , "Mainly raw cold dish" , "- Days (musical)" , "See 1 ac" , "Cold vegetable dish" .)
