Come down — listen to group of players (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

teem

'come down' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'listen to group of players' is the wordplay.
'listen to' shows a homophone (sound like).
'group of players' becomes 'team' (I've seen this in another clue).
'team' sounds like 'TEEM'.

(Other definitions for teem that I've seen before include "stream" , "Move in large numbers" , "Be swarming (with)" , "Come down hard" , "Bucket down" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
