Crossword Genius

Gentleman has removed one, bowled (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sahib

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

'has removed one bowled' is the wordplay.
'removed' is an anagram indicator (moved again).
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'bowled' becomes 'b' (cricket abbreviation).
'has' is an anagram of 'sah'.
'sah'+'i'+'b'='SAHIB'

(Other definitions for sahib that I've seen before include "In India, Sir" , "Term of respect to man in India" , "Indian's respectful term of address to a man" , "Cultured man" , "Asian title" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
