Phone for a new bowler (6)
I believe the answer is:
blower
'phone' is the definition.
(informal term for telephone)
'new bowler' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bowler' anagrammed gives 'BLOWER'.
'for a' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for blower that I've seen before include "Telephone (informal)" , "One producing current" , "Fan - telephone (slang)" , "Speaking-tube" , "Fan; telephone (colloq.)" .)
