Ah, another snooker reference. I remember the Listener awhile back that was all about snooker. First time I ever needed to learn anything about it. Thanks again, Brendan.

I somehow managed to get the cricket clue though. 😁

No problem, I remember a top snooker player, Jimmy White I think, taking on one of America's top pool players - can't remember who won:-)

I should have gotten the clue though after my crash course in snooker a few months ago. I thought that the common word for radicals would be the answer, but I couldn't get "potter."

Thanks Brendan. Oddly enough there's a 6 letter fish beginning with the first 4 letters which it is also known by and the first 3 letters are yet another fish!

Thanks Granama, and that plethora of fishes, along with the ad friendly spelling, is why it was my LOI:-)

I had rejected that answer at first for that very reason, Brendan.
