I believe the answer is:
wides
'extra deliveries' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'extra deliveries' is the wordplay.
'extra' becomes 'wide' (cricket term).
'deliveries' becomes 's' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'wide'+'s'='WIDES'
