Would appreciate some help with the precise parsing for these......

49a. After a little time manoeuvring in convertible, best to reverse - that's the easiest - SOFT OPTION (The easiest) I can see the letters for SOFT TOP (Convertible) and ION, but I'm still missing the exact parsing.

10d. Policeman is doubled over, caught by student, no scholar - COMMISSIONER (Policeman) I think it's 'ISSI' = 'Is Doubled Over' inside 'COMMONER', but why is that 'Student, no scholar'?

49a Number 1

Sorry Soft top with NO 1 reversed

Commoner is a student Ie not yet a scholar

Excellent. Many thanks Imagcq. Back to the cricket!

Whats happening?

It's not good news I'm afraid (Unless you're an Aussie) - Australia are 105 for 1

Hi, I think it's commissioned, ie all of the above parsing inside co ed.

Commissioned doesn't work with 'policeman', though.
