Crossword Genius

Does away with secure feature of delivery (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

off spin

'feature of delivery' is the definition.
(as in cricket delivery)

'does away with secure' is the wordplay.
'does away with' becomes 'offs' (I've seen this in another clue).
'secure' becomes 'pin' (pinning is a kind of securing).
'offs'+'pin'='OFF-SPIN'

(Another definition for off spin that I've seen is " delivery method".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
