Befuddled old bands together falling over (6)
I believe the answer is:
stinko
'befuddled old bands' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives sometimes mean the same thing.
'together falling over' is the wordplay.
'together falling' becomes 'stink' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'stink'+'o'='STINKO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stinko that I've seen before include "Tight" , "Drunk" , "worse for wear" , "one over the eight?" .)
