High ball to catch however, drop the ball dog! (4,7)

I haven't cracked this one yet — but the brilliant team at Times for the Times have:

SKIER (high ball) containing [to catch] YET (however) + ERR (drop the ball). In cricket a ‘skyer’ or ‘skier’ is a hit which goes very high. ‘Drop the ball’ is an informal phrase meaning to make a mistake, and according to POD and Collins it’s chiefly North American.
