Retrieves cricket ball from WC (6)
I believe the answer is:
fields
'retrieves' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their -s form, I don't understand how one could define the other.
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fields that I've seen before include "See 25 Down" , "Gracie or WC?" , "Enclosed pieces of land" , "Areas of farmland" , "Deals with" .)
