Perform inadequately, caught by all-rounder D'Oliveira (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

underdo

'perform inadequately' is the definition.

'caught by all-rounder d'oliveira' is the wordplay.
'caught by' indicates a hidden word.
'UNDERDO' is hidden in the letters of 'all rounder doliveira'.

(Other definitions for underdo that I've seen before include "Cook too briefly" , "Rarely cook" , "half-baked" , "Be responsible for rare product" , "Cook in a bad way" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
