Responsible for batting attack (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
in charge
'responsible' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'batting attack' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in'.
'attack' becomes 'charge' (charge is a kind of attack).
'in'+'charge'='IN CHARGE'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for in charge that I've seen before include "At the helm" , "Having overall control" , "Leading" , "Commanding" , "Managing" .)
