Crossword Genius

Cricketer's hat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bowler

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'cricketer's' is the first definition.
(bowler is a kind of cricketer)

'hat?' is the second definition.
(I know that bowler is a type of hat)

(Other definitions for bowler that I've seen before include "Hat that is round and hard with a narrow brim" , "Derby" , "Hard hat for cricketer?" , "Posh hat or cricket thrower" , "Posh hat or cricket player" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Times.
