Port dumped the team (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
left side
'port dumped the team' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'port dumped the team' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'port' could be 'left' (port is the left side on a boat) and 'left' is present in the answer.
'team' could be 'side' (both can mean a sports team) and 'side' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
