Unconventional opener for Essex County Cricket Club bagging ten bizarre runs against India (9)
I believe the answer is:
eccentric
'unconventional' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'opener for essex county cricket club bagging ten bizarre runs against india' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'ten' is 'ent' which is located in the answer.
'runs' could be 'r' (cricket abbreviation) and 'r' is located in the answer.
'india' could be 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'i' is located in the answer.
'cricket club' could be 'cc' (cricketing abbreviation) and 'cc' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for eccentric that I've seen before include "Weird" , "Odd or uncoventional in manner or appearance" , "Unconventional in appearance or behaviour" , "Crank" , "Odd one" .)
