Coincide with friend coming back after some cricket (7)
I believe the answer is:
overlap
'coincide with' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'friend coming back after some cricket' is the wordplay.
'friend' becomes 'pal' (pal is a kind of friend).
'coming back' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'some cricket' becomes 'over' (I've seen this in other clues).
'pal' backwards is 'lap'.
'lap' after 'over' is 'OVERLAP'.
(Other definitions for overlap that I've seen before include "Extend over and cover a part of" , "Rest one on another" , "Common area of interest" , "Put extra cover on" , "Extend beyond edge of a thing and partly cover it" .)
