Can somebody please explain to me how these answers are worked out?

Most senior spinner - John from Essex - changes sides finally (3-5) T?P?E?E?
I think the answer is TOP-LEVEL but why?

This girl would be with opposite partners for Sreesanth (7) T?E?E?A
I think the answer is THERESA but how is this worked out?

Explanations please.

John Lever - Essex bowler change L to R

Sorry r to L

the other one is a terrible clue.
An anagram of sreesanth minus N +S for opposite partners(bridge)

Thank you both. I like to do the working out myself but couldn't see why I had come to those conclusions. Now I see.
