More than usually wide? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

extra

I believe this is a double definition.

'more than usually' is the first definition.
(extra can mean to a greater level than normal)

'wide?' is the second definition.
(cricket, extra awarded for wide ball)

(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "more than usually" , "Bit actor in film" , "redundant > spear-carrier" , "Ancillary" , "fortuitous run" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, The Telegraph and the Financial Times.
