Concerned with men on cricket ground? Is time for Carter? (10)
I believe the answer is:
removalist
'time for carter?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'concerned with men on cricket ground?' is the wordplay.
'concerned with' becomes 're' (re can mean regarding, concerning).
'men' becomes 'mist' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'on' is an insertion indicator (as in clothing 'on' a person).
'cricket ground?' becomes 'Oval' (London cricket ground).
'mist' going around 'oval' is 'movalist'.
're'+'movalist'='REMOVALIST'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
