Repeatedly hit cricketer? (6)
I believe the answer is:
batter
'cricketer?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'repeatedly hit' is the wordplay.
'repeatedly hit' can mean two replacements for 'hit'.
'hit' becomes 'bat' (batting is a kind of hitting).
'hit' becomes 'ter' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bat'+'ter'='BATTER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for batter that I've seen before include "Hit the flour mixture?" , "Fritter coating" , "Hit repeatedly" , "Beat the flour and liquid" , "Beat - coating used in frying food" .)
