Batsman or cracksman? (6)
I believe the answer is:
opener
This could be a double definition.
'batsman' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cracksman?' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how one could define the other.
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for opener that I've seen before include "Batsman who starts innings" , "Tins need one" , "See 1" , "Card player who starts the bidding" , "man, first at the crease?" .)
