Sacked Brent-alike, infantile crawler (5-5)
I believe the answer is:
ankle-biter
'infantile crawler' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'sacked brent-alike' is the wordplay.
'sacked' is an anagram indicator (sack can mean to destroy).
'brent'+'alike'='brentalike'
'brentalike' with letters rearranged gives 'ANKLE-BITER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
