Fielder, Mike I assume (3-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mid-on

'fielder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mike i assume' is the wordplay.
'mike' becomes 'M' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'assume' becomes 'don' (I've seen this in another clue).
'm'+'i'+'don'='MID-ON'

(Other definitions for mid-on that I've seen before include "Cricket fielder" , "Leg side fieldsman" , "Fielding position" , "Cricketing position" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
