Bat, net and lines put out for a game (5,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

table tennis

'game' is the definition.
(I know that table tennis is a type of table game)

'bat net and lines put out' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'put out' indicates an anagram.
'bat'+'net'+'lines'='batnetlines'
'batnetlines' is an anagram of 'TABLE-TENNIS'.

'for a' is the link.

(Other definitions for table tennis that I've seen before include "Indoor game" , "sport" , "Ping pong" , "Ping-pong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
