Weekend Peer Review 25

Welcome to our weekend competition to compose a cryptic clue, to be judged by your fellow contestants.

You may enter as many clues as you like and everyone is welcome. Feel free to explain your clue, if you think it will help, or to ask another setter to parse a clue.

Entrants should vote for their favourite clue.

Clues should be posted by 12 noon (UK time) on Sunday April 26th. when voting opens.
Voting closes at 8pm. I will be preparing a birthday meal in the evening so may not be able to tie things up till much later.

The entry with the most votes wins and its composer sets next week's competition.
The setter may change the rules or experiment with an alternative format for the following week.

The setter will declare the winner and award an online prize.
This week's challenge presents a choice of three;

EMBARRASS (9)
EMBARRASSED (11)
EMBARRASSING (12)

Have fun!

Only if you can play a decent game of cricket . .

We may have an opening for "Long On" but "Short Stops" definitely in over supply
