What an absolute stinker this was!

Please can anyone help with 23d?

Man in field almost cutting from side to side (5,5)

I have E - T - A / - O - E -

It looks like EXTRA COVER (man in [cricket] field), but how does it parse?

Almost cutting, extrac is almost “extract.”

Chambers can explain it - a definition, 'over' from side to side'.
