Lord's seeing Boycott getting to grips with run out (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baron

'lord's' is the definition.
(baron is a kind of lord)

'boycott getting to grips with run out' is the wordplay.
'boycott' becomes 'ban'.
'getting to grips with' is an insertion indicator.
'run out' becomes 'ro' (cricket abbreviation).
'ban' placed around 'ro' is 'BARON'.

'seeing' is the link.

(Other definitions for baron that I've seen before include "British peer of the lowest rank" , "Title of rank" , "Titled man for a portion of beef" , "Noble rank" , "Nobleman providing a portion of beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
