Member, before holiday, gets delivery (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
leg break
'delivery' is the definition.
(type of cricket delivery)
'member before holiday' is the wordplay.
'member' becomes 'leg' (member can mean a limb).
'before' says to put letters next to each other.
'holiday' becomes 'break' (break can mean a holiday or time off).
'leg'+'break'='LEG BREAK'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for leg break that I've seen before include "(In cricket) ball turning to the left on pitching" , "Spinning ball (cricket)" , "Sort of spin" , "Switch from on to off" , "Cricket delivery" .)
