'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'bog' becomes 'fen' (I've seen this in another clue).
'backside of' suggests the final letters.
'gets' is an insertion indicator.
The last letter of 'addict' is 't'.
'fen' going around 't' is 'ften'.
'o'+'ften'='OFTEN'

'injected' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
