Harangue over tax (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orate

'harangue' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'over tax' is the wordplay.
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'tax' becomes 'rate' (rate is a kind of tax).
'o'+'rate'='ORATE'

(Other definitions for orate that I've seen before include "Declaim or rant" , "Make a formal address" , "Spout" , "Make a lengthy speech" , "Deliver a speech" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
