Puritan upset about new date for cricket game (3,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
tip and run
'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'puritan upset about new date for cricket' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'upset' could be 'tip' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'tip' is located in the answer.
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is found within the answer.
'date' could be 'd' (abbreviation e.g. dob - date of birth) and 'd' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'run' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tip and run that I've seen before include "to deal with a waiter hastily?" , "For sport" , "diners in a hurry do when leaving a restaurant?" , "Play this" , "Is it really cricket" .)
