Our team runs after flash vehicle driven on the pitch? (5)

I believe the answer is:

mower

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

'vehicle driven on the pitch?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'our team runs after flash' is the wordplay.
'our team' becomes 'we' (you and I are on the same team).
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'flash' becomes 'mo' (both mean a very short period of time).
'we'+'r'='wer'
'wer' after 'mo' is 'MOWER'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for mower that I've seen before include "Tool for cutting grass" , "Grass-cutter" , "Gardening equipment" , "Machine for cutting grass" , "Gardening machine" .)
