Style of greeting in cricket club (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chic

'style' is the definition.
(chic can mean elegance or style)

'greeting in cricket club' is the wordplay.
'greeting' becomes 'hi' (hi is a kind of greeting).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'cricket club' becomes 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation).
'hi' put into 'cc' is 'CHIC'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chic that I've seen before include "A la mode" , "Snazzy" , "Elegantly fashionable" , "Well turned out" , "Stylishness, elegance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
