'at this place after half a dozen' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech.

'balls he got runs with some excitement' is the wordplay.
'balls' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'got' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'runs with' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.).
'some' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'excitement' is 'e'.
'over'+'he'+'r'+'e'='OVER HERE'
