Old cricketer has wage without even good style (1,1,5)
I believe the answer is:
w g grace
'style' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'old cricketer has wage without even good' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'cricketer' could be 'grace' (I have seen 'old cricketer' mean 'grace' so perhaps 'cricketer' could also mean 'grace') and 'grace' is found within the answer.
'good' could be 'g' (abbreviation) and 'g' is located in the answer.
A single letter 'w' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
