What a batsman might do in a hurry? (3,3,3)
I believe the answer is:
cut and run
'what a batsman' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'might do in a hurry?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'do' could be 'ut' (synonyms) and 'ut' is located in the answer.
'might' could be 'can' and 'can' is located in the remaining letters.
'hurry?' could be 'run' (running is a kind of hurrying) and 'run' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cut and run that I've seen before include "Escape quickly from a difficult situation" , "Make a rapid escape" , "Exit a thorny situation rather than deal with it" , "A batsman may" , "light out" .)
