Crossword Genius

Poor Elvis runs for cash (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

silver

'for cash' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'poor elvis runs' is the wordplay.
'poor' indicates anagramming the letters.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'elvis' is an anagram of 'silve'.
'silve'+'r'='SILVER'

(Other definitions for silver that I've seen before include "Silver of precious metal" , "Compensatory feature of cloud" , "Soft, white, precious metal" , "See 20" , "Grey-haired" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
