late cut

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

'batsman' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'overdue share' is the wordplay.
'overdue' becomes 'late' (similar in meaning).
'share' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of share).
'late'+'cut'='LATE CUT'

'delivered by' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for late cut that I've seen before include "Shot" , "Cricket stroke" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
