How batsmen score in a car accident (3,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
hit and run
'accident' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'how batsmen score in a car' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'score' could be 'run' (run is a kind of score) and 'run' is found in the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'car' could be 't' and 't' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'hid' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hit and run that I've seen before include "may be criminally irresponsible" , "Advice to slow T20 batsman" , "Type of road accident" , "Successes in theatre" , "Criminal activity" .)
