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

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

'incompetent dan put in opener finally trapped in cricket' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'dan' is 'and' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tip-and-run that I've seen is " Informal game of cricket".)
