Finished with the military, missing last of many such deliveries? (7)
I believe the answer is:
overarm
'finished with the military missing last of many such deliveries?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'finished with the military missing last' is the wordplay.
'finished' becomes 'over' (over can mean finished or ended).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the military' becomes 'army' (the armed forces).
'missing last' means to remove the last letter.
'army' with its final letter taken off is 'arm'.
'over'+'arm'='OVERARM'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for overarm that I've seen before include "Kind of bowling" , "(Sportingly) with the hand brought forward above shoulder level" , "Ma rover (anag.)" , "With hand raised above shoulder like cricket bowler" , "kind of delivery" .)
