Direct lots of deliveries here from time to time (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversee

'direct' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lots of deliveries here from time to time' is the wordplay.
'lots of deliveries' becomes 'overs' (cricket).
'from time to time' indicates alternate letters (letters removed on a regular basis).
The alternate letters of 'here' are 'ee'.
'overs'+'ee'='OVERSEE'

(Other definitions for oversee that I've seen before include "Keep a check on" , "Inspect" , "Supervise like ganger" , "As supervisor does" , "Direct" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
