'surveys' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'struggles to capture wicket after six balls' is the wordplay.
'struggles' becomes 'vies' (I've seen this before).
'to capture' is an insertion indicator.
'wicket' becomes 'w'.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'six balls' becomes 'over' (sequence of six balls bowled in cricket).
'vies' going around 'w' is 'views'.
'views' put after 'over' is 'OVERVIEWS'.
