Sport and dance curtailed when leg gets crushed (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
ball game
'curtailed when leg gets crushed' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'sport and dance' is the wordplay.
'sport' becomes 'game' (I've seen this before).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'game' after 'ball' is 'BALL GAME'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ball game that I've seen before include "Eg, tennis or rugby" , "soccer, for example" , "Eg, rugby, lacrosse" , "squash, perhaps?" , "A sport such as soccer, rugby, cricket, hockey etc" .)
