Broad gets a run in cricket (4)
I believe the answer is:
wide
'broad' is the definition.
(I know that broad can be written as wide)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wide that I've seen before include "roomy" , "Far from the mark" , "Unplayable ball (cricket)" , "shrewd and shifty" , "(At cricket) an extra" .)
