Bash gate as one way to get out (3,6)
I believe the answer is:
hit wicket
'one way to get out' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'bash gate' is the wordplay.
'bash' becomes 'hit' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'gate' becomes 'wicket' (wicket gate is a kind of gate).
'hit'+'wicket'='HIT WICKET'
'as' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hit wicket that I've seen before include "thus dismissed" , "getting out" , "Means to get out" .)
