Discussed a cricket club indeed! (7)
I believe the answer is:
debated
'discussed' is the definition.
(debating is a kind of discussing)
'a cricket club indeed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'debted' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for debated that I've seen before include "Discussed formally" , "Argued" , "Considered" , "Discussed in public" , "Contemplated" .)
