Aah, sorry Hannah, and apologies Tyke - her vote would have propelled you into a sudden death decider with Rossim with your sepia-tinged

"Initially Bowes and Larwood launched several bouncers (5)"

I hope you can live with this - as a victim of unfortunate timing. I on the other hand am very grateful I didn't have to choose between the two of you.

Apologies again Tyke.

Thank you kt17 for hosting.very well done Rossim

Well done Rossim - a worthy winner!

No worries Kt17 - I couldn`t resist doing a `Cricket` themed clue - even though I knew some wouldn`t like it.

Thanks for your votes Jws, Bbm2 and Hannah - very much appreciated!
and thanks for an enjoyable challenge Kt17

Nice one, Rossim! Commiserations to Tyke51, gracious in defeat. Cheers, KT17, for hosting. Good word to use for the challenge, with multiple meanings and the chance of some BAWdiness. Thanks, Mattrom and Paul, for your kind mentions.

No need to apologise kt17 . . my vote was late and thus informal

I didn't look at results before posting, and if I had would not have voted at all

Congrats to all placegetters . . and, to win with 3 votes in a field as large as this one was, indicates a very even competition

Congrats, rossim. Commiserations, tyke. Thanks for giving the bad boys and girls such an opportunity, kt! Thanks for the vote, tyke, and for the mentions, mattrom, Nemo, BBM and Paul - all much appreciated.

Well done -Rossini’s this is why I think it’s best to have the cut-off at 11am so our Aussie and Kiwi friends can vote before going to bed!
Thanks for setting KT - what a response!
Thanks for the vote Steve and for the mentions SW and Aristo - all very much appreciated!

Very nice, rossim. Thanks for hosting, kt. Thanks also to paul for your kind words and vote (I thought ball bearing had a nice spin), and to mattrom, stevea, and peterm for the mentions.

Congratulations, Rossim and commiserations to Tyke51. I think the evenness of voting shows the overall quality of the the clues.
Thanks to Aristo and FJ for your votes and to BBM2 and Paul for the mention - much appreciated.
Thanks also to KT17 for hosting, and a sterling effort in your sum up. (or should I say 'bonza'?) I liked my prize, especially pertinent with our Federal elections looming.
