Player who needs to get his broken elbow right (6)
I believe the answer is:
bowler
'player who needs to get his' is the definition.
'bowler' can be an answer for 'player' (bowler is a kind of player). I'm not certain of the remainder of the definition.
'broken elbow right' is the wordplay.
'broken' indicates an anagram.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'elbow' is an anagram of 'bowle'.
'bowle'+'r'='BOWLER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bowler that I've seen before include "See 8" , "Hard felt hat" , "Type of hat" , "Stiff hat with rounded crown" , "Round black hat with brim" .)
