Comments on the clue
1.Nice idea, but I'm not sure 'bowling' works as an anagrind
2.Not sure intransitive "bowling" is very fair as an anagram indicator, but certainly very clever and worth marks
3.Surely a maiden over is the opposite of ultimate in bowling?
4.Some of the anagram fodder is separate from the anagram indicator.
