This is a substitution - look for an indicator that suggests replacing one part of a word with another part.
Start with 'about' (meaning around), then replace the letters meaning 'run out' with letters meaning 'stumped'. The replacements are abbreviations from cricket terminology.
Answer: ASTOUND | Take AROUND ('about'), replace RO ('run out' in cricket) with ST ('stumped' in cricket) to get ASTOUND.
