Caught, chopped and chomped (6)
I believe the answer is:
chewed
'chomped' is the definition.
'caught chopped' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'chopped' becomes 'hewed'.
'c'+'hewed'='CHEWED'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for chewed that I've seen before include "Thought about" , "Masticated, worked with teeth" , "Worked or ground between the teeth" , "Made use of teeth" , "Masticated between teeth - maybe gum" .)
