Adventurous reporting having taken part in cricket match (4)
I believe the answer is:
bold
'adventurous' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bold that I've seen before include "Prominent" , "Typeface with thick heavy lines" , "Conspicuous" , "Daring, courageous" , "Daring, maybe impudent" .)
