Crossword Genius

She hates broken trophy (3,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

the ashes

'trophy' is the definition.
(cricket trophy)

'she hates broken' is the wordplay.
'broken' is an anagram indicator.
'she'+'hates'='shehates'
'shehates' with letters rearranged gives 'THE ASHES'.

(Other definitions for the ashes that I've seen before include "trees" , "Trophy awarded in England-Australia cricket, sounds grubby" , "Cricketing trophy" , "Trophy for winner of AngloAustralian cricket series" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
