Such bowlers have rotten tops (11)
I believe the answer is:
offspinners
'such bowlers' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'rotten tops' is the wordplay.
'rotten' becomes 'off' (rotten food is 'off').
'tops' becomes 'spinners' (I've seen this in another clue).
'off'+'spinners'='OFFSPINNERS'
'have' acts as a link.
