Late run involved when uncommitted (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

neutral

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

'late run involved' is the wordplay.
'involved' is an anagram indicator (involved can mean confusing or complex).
'late'+'run'='laterun'
'laterun' anagrammed gives 'NEUTRAL'.

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for neutral that I've seen before include "Disengaged transmission situation" , "Indifferent; not in gear" , "Not siding with any party" , "Not allied to either side" , "Where gears are not engaged" .)

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