lashes out

'attacks a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'boor holding a cricket trophy' is the wordplay.
'boor' becomes 'lout' (I've seen this before).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'a cricket trophy' becomes 'ashes' (I've seen this before).
'lout' enclosing '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?" .)
