It's just not cricket! By the time I step up to the crease for my stint, all the babblers have called stumps and I can't join in the chat. It's enough to make one quail. At least I won't be scoring a duck like a silly galah. That would be hard to swallow. Life's a bustard!

I think it was Helena who had this one.....the bird that sounds like fuel in an engine is a PETREL, a kind of sea bird.

Too right, Benjamin! Helena's no goose. Makes me look like a drongo.

Mamya, your 99 on the diagonal is PEEWEE ... the name that common people use when referring to me. Hope this is helpful.

Still struggling with these two ...

  722. Mark Spitz (8,6) - last letters of each word are 'n' & 'r' respectively.

  735. Quarrel after odds are cut. (7)

Any help appreciated.

TIA.

735 Speug

Spot on, nice helper, thanks Hamish :)

I feel 722 should be American something but can't get the second word.

Thanks Baffled.

I feel that you're on exactly the right lines.

I've sort of ripped my hair out on this one too.

That'll be dipper then.
