Field throw (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pitch

This clue is a double definition.

'field' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'Field of play' mean 'pitch' so perhaps 'field' could also mean 'pitch')

'throw' is the second definition.
(I know that pitch is a type of throw)

(Other definitions for pitch that I've seen before include "-- and putt" , "Erect (tent); steepness of roof" , "Football ground" , "Throw - bitumen" , "Area of field" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
