View over wing (7)

I believe the answer is:

opinion

'view' is the definition.
(I know that view can be written as opinion)

'over wing' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'wing' becomes 'pinion' (synonyms).
'o'+'pinion'='OPINION'

(Other definitions for opinion that I've seen before include "Estimation" , "Standpoint" , "View, judgement" , "Viewpoint" , "Belief not founded on proof or certainty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sunday Times.
