Those of a cricket body? (5)
I believe the answer is:
ashes
'body?' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'those of a cricket' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'shes' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ashes that I've seen before include "` `..... to ....., dust to dust' ' (prayer)" , "Burnt residue" , "Remains of anything burnt" , "Remnants of a fire" , "Eng/Aus test series" .)
