Setter retracted error one's there to catch (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leg slip

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one's there to catch' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'setter retracted error' is the wordplay.
'setter' becomes 'gel' (something which sets).
'retracted' says the letters should be written backwards.
'error' becomes 'slip' (slip is a kind of error).
'gel' back-to-front is 'leg'.
'leg'+'slip'='LEG SLIP'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for leg slip that I've seen before include "Cricketer" , "Fielding position" , "On-side fielder" , "One hoping to hold ball" , "One in the field" .)
