Congrats tyke51 nd thanks pedagogue.

It's not often that a cryptic definition wins one of these!

Thanks for the explanation, pedagogue. News to me on both counts.

It does remind me, though - England used to pick Derek Underwood as they would take an umbrella - in case it rained. (On uncovered pitches when it rained, Underwood was just about unplayable.)

Well done Tyke, and thanks, Pedagogue for the mention and a great word to clue.
Fascinating clip - there must be big money in football!

Congrats tyke. Thanks pedagogue. And glad someone parsed as I'm another unfamiliar with that terminology.

A note on the subject of DBEs (definition by example): for anyone wondering, tyke added a question mark as the second half was a DBE.

Congratulations, tyke, and thanks, pedagogue.
I too was totally clueless.

Well done Tyke; I also would have never got the clue!
Cheers Ped!

Well done Tyke. No chance on that one here either!
Nice word choice Pedagogue. Thanks for the mention and the hosting.
Enjoyed the clip

Congratulations Tyke
Cheers Pedagogue for the mention and the silver

Like the rest i was stumped

Thanks for explaining `sticky dog` Pedagogue - sorry if it caused non-cricketers a problem!
It certainly is `Sunny Donny` this fine morn - I`m also a Yorkshire Cricket member - Lord`s and Scarborough being my favourite grounds - have booked for Chelmsford in July (4 day match) ... hoping to receive a friendly welcome from the Essex faithful (or not!)

Chrise - Yes I remember `deadly` Derek ... he was unplayable at times!
