Sure sign revealing a batsman's ambitions? (10)
I believe the answer is:
boundaries
'a batsman's ambitions?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both human attributes as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'sure sign' is the wordplay.
'sure' becomes 'bound' ('bound' can be a synonym of 'sure').
'sign' becomes 'aries' (star sign).
'bound'+'aries'='BOUNDARIES'
'revealing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for boundaries that I've seen before include "Borders" , "Limits" .)
