Turn to complain after losing wicket (5)
I believe the answer is:
hinge
'turn' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'complain after losing wicket' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'whinge' (I've seen this before).
'after losing' suggests deleting specific letters.
'wicket' becomes 'w'.
'whinge' with 'w' taken away is 'HINGE'.
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for hinge that I've seen before include "What a door depends upon!" , "Door support" , "On what a door swings" , "Circumstance upon which subsequent events depend; door facilitator" , "Moveable joint" .)
