For example, Buzz — Southern fast bowler (8)
I believe the answer is:
spaceman
'for example buzz' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'southern fast bowler' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'fast bowler' becomes 'paceman' (cricket term).
's'+'paceman'='SPACEMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spaceman that I've seen before include "Out-of-this-world chap?" , "Armstrong, say" , "Armstrong, perhaps?" , "NASA PC, me! (anag)" , "High flier" .)
