'quickly' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'bagging 50 ace cricket side runs round' is the wordplay.
'bagging' is an insertion indicator (bag can mean to obtain or contain).
'50' becomes 'l' (Roman numeral).
'ace' becomes 'a' (abbreviation).
'cricket side' becomes 'leg' (I've seen this before).
'runs round' becomes 'ro' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'leg'='aleg'
'l' going inside 'aleg' is 'alleg'.
'alleg'+'ro'='ALLEGRO'
