Club 2 developed severe style implicating China? (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
bowl cut
'club 2 developed severe' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'style implicating china?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'style' could be 'cut' (synonyms) and 'cut' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bowl' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
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?
