Crossword Genius

Finish putting pickle away (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hole out

'finish' is the definition.
(to hole out can mean to be caught in cricket)

'pickle away' is the wordplay.
'pickle' becomes 'hole' ('hole' can be a synonym of 'pickle').
'away' becomes 'out' ('out' can be a synonym of 'away').
'hole'+'out'='HOLE OUT'

'putting' is the link.
