Summer pants and a top for the cricketer (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
short stop
'the cricketer' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'summer pants and a top' is the subsidiary indication.
'summer pants' becomes 'shorts' (shorts is a kind of pants. I am not sure about the 'summer' bit.**).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'shorts'+'top'='shortstop'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for short stop that I've seen is " Baseball player".)
