Crossword Genius

Pace bowler's six balls producing easy win (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

walkover

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'easy win' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pace bowler's six balls' is the wordplay.
'pace bowler's' becomes 'walk' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'six balls' becomes 'over' (cricket).
'walk'+'over'='WALKOVER'

'producing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for walkover that I've seen before include "Piece of cake - child's play" , "Easy victory of ambulant sort?" , "victory's easy" , "Unopposed victory" , "easy win" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
