Lord's ducks perhaps mating animals (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pair

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'lord's ducks perhaps' is the first definition.
(as in a pair of ducks in cricket)

'mating animals' is the second definition.
(pair of mates)

(Other definitions for pair that I've seen before include "Cereal used as food" , "how braces come" , "Set of two" , "Brace, couple" , "Two of a kind, as in cards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
