Spot-on to swing axe on cricket sides (5)
I believe the answer is:
exact
'spot-on' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'swing axe on cricket sides' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'axe' is 'exa' which is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for exact that I've seen before include "on the money" , "Precise and strictly correct" , "Precisely correct" , "Precisely accurate" , "Particular" .)
