Crossword Genius

Cricket match consumed with a will (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

testate

'with a will' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'cricket match consumed' is the wordplay.
'cricket match' becomes 'test' (a test is a kind of cricket match).
'consumed' becomes 'ate' (to eat is to consume food).
'test'+'ate'='TESTATE'

(Other definitions for testate that I've seen before include "Having left a legacy" , "Leaving a will" , "Having made a last will and testament" , "Dying with a will" , "Having made a valid will" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
