Want profoundly bad skiers taken here? (4-3)

I believe the answer is:

long-off

'skiers taken here?' is the definition.
(cricket term - a skier might be taken here)

'want profoundly bad' is the wordplay.
'want' becomes 'long' (longing is a kind of wanting).
'profoundly bad' becomes 'off'.
'long'+'off'='LONG-OFF'

(Another definition for long-off that I've seen is " Cricket fielding position behind bowler".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
