VIP's six at Lord's? (3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

big shot

This clue is a double definition.

'vip's' is the first definition.
(both can mean an important person)

'six at lord's?' is the second definition.
(a six would be a big shot in cricket)

(Other definitions for big shot that I've seen before include "Important person (with a large cannon?)" , "Important man with loud gun?" , "Head honcho?" , "Informally, an important person - sounds loud" , "Important influential person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
