Within the batting team? (6)
I believe the answer is:
inside
'within' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'batting team?' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in' (as in batting or being 'in' in cricket).
'team?' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'in'+'side'='INSIDE'
'the' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for inside that I've seen before include "Middle" , "undercover" , "Inner surface" , "close to centre" , "Imprisoned" .)
