Raise the flag at the cricket ground? (3,2)
I believe the answer is:
run up
'raise' is the definition.
(running up is a kind of raising)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for run up that I've seen before include "Go to the top of steps" , "Quickly create" , "Illingworth had a short one" , "Raise the standard" , "Bowling approach" .)
