Don Bradman finally caught in annual Test before close of play (5)
I believe the answer is:
monty
'don bradman finally caught in annual test before' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'close of play' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'close' could be 'on' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'on' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for monty that I've seen before include "The Full - - (film)" , "Diminutive for Montgomery" , "Nickname of World War II general" .)
