Worm in team done wrong? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nematode

'worm' is the definition.
(I know that nematode is a type of worm)

'team done wrong?' is the wordplay.
'wrong?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'wronged' mean this).
'team'+'done'='teamdone'
'teamdone' anagrammed gives 'NEMATODE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for nematode that I've seen before include "Long thin worm such as threadworm" , "Type of worm" , "sort of animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
