Wide player of little consequence (5)
I believe the answer is:
extra
This might be a double definition.
'wide' is the first definition.
(cricket, extra awarded for wide ball)
'player of little consequence' is the second definition.
'extra' can be an answer for 'player' (extra is a kind of player). I'm not certain of the 'of little consequence' bit.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for extra that I've seen before include "Minor person screened" , "Maybe wide" , "Taxer (anag.)" , "An increased amount" , "One playing small part" .)
