Batting talent at school (2,5)

I believe the answer is:

in class

'at school' is the definition.
(in a classroom)

'batting talent' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket).
'talent' becomes 'class' (class can mean ability or talent).
'in'+'class'='IN CLASS'

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
