We stick around, which fielding sides want (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wickets

'which fielding sides want' is the definition.
(as in cricket )

'we stick around' is the wordplay.
'around' is an anagram indicator.
'we'+'stick'='westick'
'westick' with letters rearranged gives 'WICKETS'.

(Another definition for wickets that I've seen is " Sets of stumps".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
