King gets two points for team (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crew

'for team' is the definition.
(crew is a kind of team)

'king gets two points' is the wordplay.
'king' becomes 'cr' (short for Carolus Rex, King Charles in Latin).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'two points' becomes 'ew' (east and west).
'cr'+'ew'='CREW'

(Other definitions for crew that I've seen before include "Train team" , "Group of operators" , "A kind of short cut" , "They operate ship or aircraft" , "emulated cocks" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
