Well played Mattrom - cheers Jono - enjoyed the clips 🏏

Thanks to tyke, aristo, chrise, jimmy, paulh and paul for your votes. Commiserations, welcome and well done to geeker for his? debut entries.
I enjoyed the clips, jono. In a bygone world, it's interesting that some were playing in the teams in their 40's. (... and no mention of sandpaper in their underpants)
Here's one for the host

Cheers till next weekend.

congrats mattrom, by Jiminy. Thanks to all for the votes and to jono for the hosting.

Haha, thanks for the cocktail Mattrom! 🥂

Nice as usual, mattrom. Thanks for hosting, jono, and for the votes, mattrom, paulh, and jimmy.

Congrats, mattrom. Well done as always. Thanks for the challenge, Jon, and for the chance for me to learn a little more about the game of cricket. Notice I spelled “favourite” the British way in my one clue? Thanks also to my American, British, and Australian friends for the votes.

A great innings Mattrom!
Cheers Jon for putting your spin on it all.
Thanks for saving me the blushes of ignominy Jimmy and Buddy - appreciated!

Congratulations, mattrom, well done!
Apologies for not voting...first-timer here; after realizing I'd submitted an indirect anagram, (figuratively) hung my head in shame and ducked out of the remainder of the thread. Plus I was not at home most of Sunday (US Eastern time).
Well-deserved winner and I heartily agree with the decision.

Well done, mattrom, and thanks for your vote along with those of tyke and Paul.

Thanks for hosting, Jono. I first attended a test match in 1959 at Lord's when India had to open their innings late in the day and face Fred Trueman bowling flat out with May, Cowdrey et al fielding in the slips halfway to the boundary. First time I'd seen a proper fast bowler from the side view. Made me gasp, as TV in those days filmed only from behind the bowler's arm and you didn't appreciate the sheer speed of the ball.

Congrats mattrom and thanks jono, especially for the old cricket clip.

Thanks for the vote, tyke,
