overlords

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dominates bowling spell' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'at famous cricket ground' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'famous' becomes 'over' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'cricket ground' becomes 'lords' (English cricket ground).
'over'+'lords' is 'OVERLORDS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for overlords that I've seen before include "Superiors" , "Most superior fellows" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
