Bait an opponent ( Cricket ) (6)

I believe the answer is:

sledge

(Other definitions for sledge that I've seen before include "Narrow cart with runners for travelling on snow" , "one could go downhill fast" , "Vehicle mounted on runners" , "In Canada train" , "Vehicle for use in snow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
