Setbacks during the spells of batting? (6)
I believe the answer is:
knocks
'setbacks' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for knocks that I've seen before include "Gentle taps" , "Strikes with a sharp blow or finds fault with" , "Raps on the door" , "You get bad experiences in the school of hard ..." , "Hits" .)
