Ross

lashes out

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'attacks a' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'boor holding a cricket trophy' is the wordplay.
'boor' becomes 'lout' (I've seen this in another clue).
'holding' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'a cricket trophy' becomes 'ashes' (I've seen this before).
'lout' placed around 'ashes' is 'LASHES OUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lashes out that I've seen before include "Hits wildly" , "removing part of eye?" .)
