Credit claimed by bowler for sensational headline (8)
I believe the answer is:
screamer
'sensational headline' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'credit claimed by bowler' is the wordplay.
'credit' becomes 'cr'.
'claimed by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bowler' becomes 'seamer' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'cr' placed within 'seamer' is 'SCREAMER'.
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for screamer that I've seen before include "powerful shot" , "Remarkable thing; noisy person; large water bird" , "she'll give voice" , "Sensational newspaper headline - mere scar (anag)" , "express delivery" .)
