Cry of 'Bravo' followed by a repeat (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

baa

'cry' is the definition.
(I know that baa is a type of cry)

'bravo followed by a repeat' is the wordplay.
'bravo' becomes 'b' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'followed by' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'repeat' shows that letters should be duplicated.
'a' duplicated is 'aa'.
'b'+'aa'='BAA'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for baa that I've seen before include "Cry of a sheep" , "Lamb's cry" , "Cry of lamb, sounds angry" , "Call from Jacob" , "Sound from a ewe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
