Numbers the Spanish ties (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elevens

'numbers' is the definition.
(eleven is a kind of number)

'the spanish ties' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'ties' becomes 'evens' (I've seen this in another clue).
'el'+'evens'='ELEVENS'

(Other definitions for elevens that I've seen before include "Particular numbers" , "Sports teams" , "Eg, football teams" , "11, 11" , "1A, 20 [SUNDERLAND LEEDS]" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
