Two options to stop striker lifting equipment? (5,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
block and tackle
'lifting equipment?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'two options to stop striker' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'stop' could be 'block' (synonyms) and 'block' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for block and tackle that I've seen before include "Rugby moves" , "Lifting gear" , "weightlifter" , "How sportsmen defend" , "lifting equipment" .)
