Australian cricket team? Everyone backing Warner finally concerned with armpits? (7)
I believe the answer is:
axillar
'concerned with armpits?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'australian cricket team? everyone backing warner finally' is the wordplay.
'australian' becomes 'A' (common abbreviation).
'cricket team?' becomes 'xi' (a cricket team, from Roman numerals for 11).
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'backing' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'finally' suggests the final letters.
The final letter of 'warner' is 'r'.
'all' backwards is 'lla'.
'a'+'xi'+'lla'+'r'='AXILLAR'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
