Crossword Genius

Report on particular fielder (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cover point

'fielder' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'report on particular' is the wordplay.
'report on' becomes 'cover' (synonyms).
'particular' becomes 'point' (synonyms).
'cover'+'point'='COVER POINT'

(Other definitions for cover point that I've seen before include "Man in the field" , "Fielder" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
