silly mid-on

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

'the cricket field' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'dolly's mini is over' is the wordplay.
'is over' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dollys'+'mini'='dollysmini'
'dollysmini' anagrammed gives 'SILLY MID-ON'.

'on' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for silly mid-on that I've seen is " Fielding position".)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
