Spinner celebrates best Test result (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
top marks
'best test result' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'spinner celebrates' is the wordplay.
'spinner' becomes 'top' (a spinning top).
'celebrates' becomes 'marks' (as in marking an anniversary).
'top'+'marks'='TOP MARKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
