Type of grid that could make Christopher reportedly angry (5-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

criss-cross

'type of grid' is the definition.
(type of grid pattern)

'christopher reportedly angry' is the wordplay.
'christopher' becomes 'Chris' (short for Christopher).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'angry' becomes 'cross' (cross can mean annoyed or angry).
'chris' sounds like 'criss'.
'criss'+'cross'='CRISS-CROSS'

'that could make' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
