England seamer, picked for XI, admits he bowled wide (5,2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
broad in the beam
'england seamer picked for xi admits he bowled' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'wide' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'wide' could be 'broad' (synonyms) and 'broad' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for broad in the beam that I've seen before include "Wide-hipped" , "Not skinny" , "not at all waif-like" , "woman picked out by spotlight?" , "Fat" .)
