Crossword Genius

When out, English batsman feels humiliation (4-9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

self-abasement

'humiliation' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'when out english batsman feels' is the wordplay.
'when out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean incorrect or inaccurate).
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'e'+'batsman'+'feels'='ebatsmanfeels'
'ebatsmanfeels' anagrammed gives 'SELF-ABASEMENT'.
