Diehard conservative getting a share for cricket stroke (6,3)
I believe the answer is:
square cut
'cricket stroke' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'diehard conservative getting a share' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'conservative' could be 'square' (I've seen this before) and 'square' is found in the answer.
'share' could be 'cut' (cut is a kind of share) and 'cut' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for square cut that I've seen before include "Shot" , "having a strong chin?" , "three instead of four?" , "so play this?" , "producing bang?" .)
