English cricket side win at last in great style (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elegance

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

'english cricket side win at last in great' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'cricket side' becomes 'leg' (I've seen this before).
'at last' indicates one should take the final letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'great' becomes 'ace' (I've seen this before).
The final letter of 'win' is 'n'.
'n' going within 'ace' is 'ance'.
'e'+'leg'+'ance'='ELEGANCE'

(Other definitions for elegance that I've seen before include "Showing good taste in dress or style" , "Style; refinement" , "Graceful appearance or manner" , "Graceful style" , "Polish - distinction" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
