Manner in which one gets players out (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mien

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

'manner' is the definition.
(mien can mean a manner or attitude)

'one gets players out' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found in the answer.
'players' could be 'men' (eg men referring to the players in a football team) and 'men' is found within the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in which' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mien that I've seen before include "(One's) manner, bearing" , "A face like mine" , "Facial expression sounds miserly" , "A face - maybe mine" , "A countenance like mine" .)
