Extra VIP going ahead of everybody (2-4)

I believe the answer is:

no-ball

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'extra' is the definition.
(cricket)

'vip going ahead of everybody' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'vip' could be 'nob' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'nob' is present in the answer.
'everybody' could be 'all' (all people) and 'all' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for no-ball that I've seen before include "Extra, in cricket" , "Illegal delivery by bowler in cricket" .)
