it is "Wood"
Double Definition clue with partial "&lit"
1. with this he bowled - wood (as in Crown Green Bowls)
2. he bowled West Indies out - (Mark Wood) had just bowled them out.
I liked the overlapping of "he bowled" into the 2 definitions.
A clever topical clue (at the time). Not necessarily accurate. I would welcome your comments on its validity.
