Game spirit shown by one booed on stage endlessly? (7)
I believe the answer is:
kabaddi
'game' is the definition.
(Indian sport)
'spirit shown by one booed on stage endlessly?' is the wordplay.
'spirit' becomes 'ka' (I've seen this in other clues).
'shown by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one booed on stage' becomes 'baddie' (eg a pantomime baddie).
'endlessly?' means to remove the last letter (I've seen 'endlessly' mean this).
'baddie' with its final letter taken off is 'baddi'.
'ka'+'baddi'='KABADDI'
I've seen this clue in The Times.
