Hi Eenk, I think it's in 28a 'Propose for a priZe minister....'

Many thanks Brendan, I think you are right - I should have thought of that.

It was the very last one I found, Eenk.

That one - prize - was given on page 2.

Sometimes that happens, Malone. Not everyone is going to read 90 odd comments, not everyone wants to, perhaps because they don't want to find out anything other than the specific question they've asked. In either case it's perfectly understandable. I don't really like the idea that someone asking for help must formally present the whole text of the clue that they want help with, nor the idea that they are obliged to read the whole thread first.

I know all that, Meursault - I mentioned it only because I was thinking that someone could have saved some thinking time, nothing more than that!
No-one here is obliged to do anything.

I'm well chuffed, having finished this one virtually unaided (I would never have found the misprinted S in 31ac without help). Just the right standard for this feeble brain.
It's a pity the preamble doesn't ask the solver to highlight the resolved clashes as well as the boundary (maybe in a different colour) - that would have been pretty.
I can't parse the answer for 30d (a synonym for 'throw?) - any help gratefully received.

Gazzar - text becomes test... then think what happens before a cricket match to decide who bats!

prologue/ before the start of teSt matches .... TOSS a coin?

Likely I misunderstood, Malone.
