Illustration of batting position (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

instance

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

'batting position' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in'.
'position' becomes 'stance' (stance is a kind of position**).
'in'+'stance'='INSTANCE'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for instance that I've seen before include "Specimen" , "Exemplify" , "An insect (anag.)" , "Occasion" , "Case in point" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
