Bigwig facing every bowler's slip? (2-4)
I believe the answer is:
no-ball
'bowler's slip?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'bigwig facing every' is the wordplay.
'bigwig' becomes 'nob' (both can mean a wealthy person).
'facing' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'every' becomes 'all' (similar in meaning).
'nob'+'all'='NO-BALL'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no-ball that I've seen before include "Extra, in cricket" , "Illegal delivery by bowler in cricket" .)
