Nuts quite like what a cricketer might hold (5)
I believe the answer is:
batty
'nuts quite' is the definition.
'batty' can be an answer for 'nuts' (I've seen this in another clue). I am unsure of the 'quite' bit.
'what a cricketer might hold' is the wordplay.
'what a cricketer' becomes 'bat' (I've seen this before).
'might hold' becomes 'ty' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bat'+'ty'='BATTY'
'like' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for batty that I've seen before include "Nuts" , "not sound" , "Eccentric" , "As mad as a mouselike mammal" , "Crazy (sl.)" .)
