Dismissed team has batting order reversed? (7,2)
I believe the answer is:
outside in
'reversed?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'dismissed team has batting order' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'dismissed' could be 'out' (dismissed in cricket) and 'out' is located in the answer.
'team' could be 'side' (both can mean a sports team) and 'side' is located in the answer.
'batting' could be 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket) and 'in' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
