Awkward fine leg anticipating catches? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inelegant

'awkward' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fine leg anticipating catches?' is the wordplay.
'catches?' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'catches' mean this (the answer is caught in the clue)).
'INELEGANT' is hidden within 'fine leg anticipating'.

(Other definitions for inelegant that I've seen before include "Ungraceful" , "poorly dressed" , "Not stylish or refined" , "far from chic" , "ungainly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
