The Spanish uniform suits the cricket team (6)
I believe the answer is:
eleven
'the cricket team' is the definition.
(a cricket team has eleven players)
'the spanish uniform' is the wordplay.
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'uniform' becomes 'even' (both can mean equal or level).
'el'+'even'='ELEVEN'
'suits' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eleven that I've seen before include "Number killed in the Peterloo massacre" , "Enough for a team" , "Number on a side (6)" , "Enough for a soccer side" , "Time for morning coffee" .)
