Title of cricket ground's cool (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lordship

'title' is the definition.
(lordship is a title or form of address)

'cricket ground's cool' is the wordplay.
'cricket ground' becomes 'lords' (English cricket ground).
'cool' becomes 'hip' (hip can mean cool or fashionable).
'lords'+'hip'='LORDSHIP'

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lordship that I've seen before include "Supreme rule" , "Supreme power" , "Dominion - authority" , "Superior state" , "House" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
