Spinner runs over to fielder at the close (5)
I believe the answer is:
rotor
'spinner' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'runs over to fielder at the close' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'runs' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is found within the answer.
'over' could be 'o' (cricket abbreviation) and 'o' is present in the answer.
'to' is found in the answer.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rotor that I've seen before include "Eddy" , "Revolving part of turbine" , "Chopper blade" , "Revolving aerofoil" , "Revolver" .)
