Bowlers losing power? They've done something wrong! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sinners

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'they've done something wrong' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'bowlers losing power?' is the wordplay.
'bowlers' becomes 'spinners' (spinner is a type of cricket bowler).
'losing' is a deletion indicator.
'power?' becomes 'p'.
'spinners' with 'p' taken away is 'SINNERS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sinners that I've seen before include "criminals" , "Transgressors of divine law" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
