I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'game' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'caught he-man' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'caught' could be 'c' (cricket abbreviation) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'he' could be 'ram' and 'ram' is present in the answer.
'man' could be 'bo' and 'bo' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
