Example of batting position? (8)
I believe the answer is:
instance
'example' is the definition.
(I know that example can be written as instance)
'batting position?' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket).
'position?' becomes 'stance' (stance is a kind of position).
'in'+'stance'='INSTANCE'
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for instance that I've seen before include "Case - isn't acne (anag)" , "Case or example from ancients" , "Specimen" , "A case or example of something" , "Canniest (anag) - occurrence" .)
