'bowler is in agreement almost' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'bowler is in agreement almost' is the wordplay.
'bowler' becomes 'harm' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in agreement' becomes 'one' (I've seen this in another clue).
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'one' with its final letter removed is 'on'.
'harm'+'is'+'on'='HARMISON'
