Stuck on 5 down - cricket fielding position. I’ve got ?o?e? S?i? which I think is something slip. Just can’t make anything fit. The O comes from Make excessive gain which I’ve put profiteer and the E comes from Misapprehension which I can only fit perchance. I’ve gone wrong somewhere I think!

Thanks very much

Really iffy this. I've been watching cricket since my schooldays and have never come across this; and it's not in Chambers, Collins or Concise Oxford.

Likewise with short slip.

Lie-in King

OED Online has -

1. a. An extra fielder sometimes placed to back up the two slips (short-slip and long-slip).

b. His position in the field.

brainiac

Never heard of short-slip or long-slip either, LiK!
