Spinner has some control at Headingley (5)
I believe the answer is:
lathe
'spinner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'some control at headingley' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'LATHE' is hidden in the letters of 'control at headingley'.
'has' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for lathe that I've seen before include "This is turned out" , "Turning device" , "Turner's machine" , "Turning implement" , "Revolver" .)
