Talk of clubs with bowler? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chat

'talk' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'clubs with bowler?' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation used in card games such as bridge).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bowler?' becomes 'hat' (bowler is a kind of hat).
'c'+'hat'='CHAT'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chat that I've seen before include "An inconsequential and informal talk" , "Bird - talk easily" , "waffle?" , "(13) [FRENCH] Cat" , "One given to song" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
