Cricket side determined to get compensation (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offset

'compensation' is the definition.
(offset is a kind of compensation)

'cricket side determined' is the wordplay.
'cricket side' becomes 'off'.
'determined' becomes 'set' ('set' can be a synonym of 'determined').
'off'+'set'='OFFSET'

'to get' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for offset that I've seen before include "Place out of line" , "Place at an angle to the main alignment" , "Counteract to compensate" , "Balance out" , "Compensate for - printing method" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
