Number one cricket club? Answer, Lord's, for cricketers (5)
I believe the answer is:
mecca
'lord's for cricketers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'number one cricket club? answer' is the wordplay.
'number one' becomes 'me'.
'cricket club?' becomes 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation).
'answer' becomes 'a' (abbreviation eg in Q and A).
'me'+'cc'+'a'='MECCA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mecca that I've seen before include "Pilgrim's destination" , "Mohammed's birthplace" , "Pilgrimage site" , "Holiest city of 13 Across, place of annual pilgrimage" , "place with devoted visitors" .)
