Batsman gets duck -- fellow takes name (6)
I believe the answer is:
opener
'batsman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'duck fellow takes name' is the wordplay.
'duck' becomes 'o'.
'fellow' becomes 'peer' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'takes' indicates putting letters inside.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'peer' going around 'n' is 'pener'.
'o'+'pener'='OPENER'
'gets' is the link.
(Other definitions for opener that I've seen before include "First going in to bat" , "(Team's) first batsman" , "First event in a series" , "First batsman in game" , "Can cutter" .)
