Exhortation to continue at crease getting stick? (5)
I believe the answer is:
baton
'stick?' is the definition.
(term for a stick or staff)
'exhortation to continue at crease' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ban' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'getting' is the link.
(Other definitions for baton that I've seen before include "Conductor wields it - or a policeman" , "A conductor wields it - or a policemen" , "Short rod (that can be passed!)" , "Controller of players" , "Short stick" .)
