Cry: something kicked, did you say? (4)
I believe the answer is:
bawl
'cry' is the definition.
(I know this)
'something kicked did you say?' is the wordplay.
'something kicked' becomes 'ball' (eg a football).
'did you say?' shows a homophone (sound like).
'ball' sounds like 'BAWL'.
(Other definitions for bawl that I've seen before include "Loudly greet" , "wail of discontent" , "Shout; sounds like dance" , "Shout or cry noisily" , "Weep noisily" .)
