Slip, for example, if going round tree (7)
I believe the answer is:
fielder
'slip for example' is the definition.
'fielder' can be an answer for 'slip' (cricket term). I'm unsure of the 'for example' bit.
'if going round tree' is the wordplay.
'going round' is a reversal indicator.
'tree' becomes 'elder' (elder is a kind of tree).
'if' back-to-front is 'fi'.
'fi'+'elder'='FIELDER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fielder that I've seen before include "he might be in a silly position" , "One as cover, slip" , "Player" , "Cricketing slip, say?" , "one in gully, perhaps" .)
