Bat defensively (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stonewall

'bat defensively' is the definition.
(cricket term)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for stonewall that I've seen before include "Obstruct by refusing to answer questions" , "Use delaying tactics as in cricket" , "Delay or block (a proposal's) progress" , "Engage in delaying tactics - General Jackson?" , "Play to defend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
