Awkward cut from fine leg anticipated (9)
I believe the answer is:
inelegant
'awkward' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'cut from fine leg anticipated' is the wordplay.
'cut from' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the answer is cut out of the clue).
'INELEGANT' is hidden within 'fine leg anticipated'.
(Other definitions for inelegant that I've seen before include "ungainly" , "clumsy" , "stiff" , "Awkward - graceless" , "not the herb of grace?" .)
