Senior citizen bats alongside opener (3-3,9)
I believe the answer is:
old-age pensioner
'senior citizen' is the definition.
'bats alongside opener' is the wordplay.
'bats' is an anagram indicator (slang for mad).
'alongside'+'opener'='alongsideopener'
'alongsideopener' anagrammed gives 'OLD-AGE PENSIONER'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
