Bowler claiming credit for sensational headline (8)
I believe the answer is:
screamer
'sensational headline' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'bowler claiming credit' is the wordplay.
'bowler' becomes 'seamer' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'claiming' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'credit' becomes 'cr'.
'seamer' placed around 'cr' is 'SCREAMER'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for screamer that I've seen before include "she'll give voice" , "express delivery" , "powerful shot" , "Remarkable thing; noisy person; large water bird" , "South American bird with loud, harsh cry" .)
