Cricket side joined coach out of spectator's view (8)
I believe the answer is:
offstage
'spectator's view' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'cricket side joined coach' is the wordplay.
'cricket side' becomes 'off'.
'joined' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'coach' becomes 'stage' (stagecoach).
'off'+'stage'='OFFSTAGE'
'out of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for offstage that I've seen before include "Behind-the-scenes" , "From the wings of a theatre?" , "behind the scenes" , "Invisible to the audience" , "out of sight of the audience" .)
