Watch cricket on telly with lab equipment (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

test tube

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lab equipment' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'watch cricket on telly' is the wordplay.
'watch cricket on' becomes 'test' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'telly' becomes 'tube' (I've seen this in another clue).
'test'+'tube'='TEST-TUBE'

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for test tube that I've seen before include "Glass container in the laboratory" , "Glass item in lab" , "used by chemist" , "glass vessel" , "Scientist's cylindrical glass" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
