Exceptionally wide, for example (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'exceptionally' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'wide for example' is the second definition.
(a wide is a type of extra in cricket)

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Ancillary" , "someone acting in a crowd" , "Bit actor in film" , "Actor in crowd scene, no lines" , "Not a standard item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
