Where to egg on the Surrey team (4)
I believe the answer is:
oval
'the surrey team' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'where to egg' is the wordplay.
'where' becomes 'val' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'egg' becomes 'o' (an 'o' resembles an egg).
'val' put after 'o' is 'OVAL'.
'on' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oval that I've seen before include "Easter gift" , "London cricket-ground" , "Where you'll find pavilion" , "Where a duck may be broken" , "Where England regained the Ashes" .)
