Typo containing H — cricket side storm (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

typhoon

'storm' is the definition.
(I know that typhoon is a type of cyclone)

'typo containing h cricket side' is the wordplay.
'containing' is an insertion indicator.
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'typo' going around 'h' is 'typho'.
'typho'+'on'='TYPHOON'

(Other definitions for typhoon that I've seen before include "Storm, cyclone" , "Tropical cyclone" , "Cyclonic sea storm" , "(Chinese) storm" , "Indian Ocean cyclone" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
