Pirouette on the cricket field? (3,4)
I believe the answer is:
leg spin
'cricket field?' is the definition.
I know that 'cricket' relates to this answer.
'pirouette on' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'pirouette' could be 'spin' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'spin' is located in the answer.
'on' could be 'leg' (cricket term) and 'leg' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for leg spin that I've seen before include "Delivery method" , "Cricket ball" , "Form of delivery" , "Bowling of balls breaking to the off side (cricket)" , "style of delivery" .)
