Example of batting posture (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instance

'example' is the definition.
('instance' can be a synonym of 'example')

'batting posture' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in'.
'posture' becomes 'stance' (stance is a kind of posture).
'in'+'stance'='INSTANCE'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for instance that I've seen before include "Example or single occurrence of something" , "Case in point" , "Particular example" , "'Example, illustration (8)'" , "An insect (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
