Top bowler (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spinner

This clue is a double definition.

'top' is the first definition.
(as in a spinning top)

'bowler?' is the second definition.
(a spinner is a kind of bowler in cricket)

(Other definitions for spinner that I've seen before include "Slow bowler - lure for mackerel" , "No quickie" , "I make deliveries turning" , "cricketer" , "government spokesman?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
