'lovely gravy that tastes' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'divine inspires a cricket side' is the wordplay.
'divine' becomes 'mmm' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'inspires' is an insertion indicator (inspire means to breathe in).
'cricket side' becomes 'on' (cricket term, on or leg side).
'mmm' going around 'a' is 'mamm'.
'mamm'+'on'='MAMMON'
