Mistakes for cricketers (5)
I believe the answer is:
slips
This might be a double definition.
'mistakes' is the first definition.
(I know this)
'cricketers' is the second definition.

'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for slips that I've seen before include "errors" , "They try to catch you" .)
