Cricket player (7)
I believe the answer is:
batsman
'cricket player' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for batsman that I've seen before include "one of two on the field" , "Cricketer at the crease" , "Player at crease" , "One at the crease" , "Grace, for example" .)
