Blunder of six deliveries location reported (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversight

'blunder' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'six deliveries location reported' is the wordplay.
'six deliveries' becomes 'over' (cricket term).
'location' becomes 'site' (site is a kind of location).
'reported' shows a homophone (sound like).
'site' sounds like 'sight'.
'over'+'sight'='OVERSIGHT'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for oversight that I've seen before include "Neglect" , "Supervision - omission" , "A failure to notice, an omission" , "Failure to notice - supervision" , "Failure to notice - blunder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
