Cricket side takes part of wicket out for a while? (2,4)
I believe the answer is:
on bail
'wicket out for a while?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'cricket side takes part' is the wordplay.
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'takes' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'part' becomes 'bail' (I have seen 'part of wicket' mean 'bail' so perhaps 'part' could also mean 'bail').
'on'+'bail'='ON BAIL'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for on bail that I've seen is " Free at a price".)
