Make fresh cricketing clanger -- high delivery (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

airdrop

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

'delivery' is the definition.
(I know that airdrop is a type of delivery)

'make fresh cricketing clanger high' is the wordplay.
'make fresh' becomes 'air' (airing is a kind of making fresh).
'cricketing clanger high' becomes 'drop' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'air'+'drop'='AIRDROP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for airdrop that I've seen before include "Emergency delivery" , "Road rip (anag.)" , "supplies sent down" , "Parachuting of supplies" , "Delivery of supplies by parachute" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
