Its home is New Road, where its scorer bats (14)

I believe the answer is:

worcestershire

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

'its home is new road' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'where its scorer bats' is the wordplay.
'bats' indicates anagramming the letters (slang for mad).
'where'+'its'+'scorer'='whereitsscorer'
'whereitsscorer' anagrammed gives 'WORCESTERSHIRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for worcestershire that I've seen before include "where triennial choir festival staged?" , "English county" , "saucy locale?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
