Group in Brisbane cricket ground beheaded (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abba

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group in brisbane' is the definition.
'ABBA' can be an answer for 'group'. I'm not certain of the 'in brisbane' bit.

'cricket ground beheaded' is the wordplay.
'cricket ground' becomes 'gabba' (I've seen this before).
'beheaded' means to remove the first letter (the head of the word is removed).
'gabba' with its first letter removed is 'ABBA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for abba that I've seen before include "Eurovision prizewinning Swedish pop group" , "Waterloo singers" , "Group winning the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest in Brighton" , "rhymes in Petrarchan sonnet" , "Palindromic 70s pop group" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
