Welcome to Clueless 385 our informal weekly clue setting competition.

The idea is to compose a cryptic clue to a given word or phrase.

The winner of the previous week's competition both sets the word to be clued and judges the entries for the current week.

The judge's decision is final and reasons may or may not be given at the judge's discretion. It is customary for the judge to award a virtual prize to the winner.

Multiple entries may be submitted and new competitors are particularly welcome.

Clues should be submitted by 9pm BST on Wednesday 22 August with the winner being announced shortly after.

The answer to be clued is:

CREASE (6)

Please parse your clue unless it's obvious, thanks.

Have fun.

Batting here, massacre as entirely contained (6)
