How about 19 accr.
Who abandoned the match after cover collapsed during pass? (8)

_ I _ O _ _ _ E

Another word for cover? And then that word as an anagram?
& what's another word for pass?

Could you share your knowledge?
"Crummy elected president in grip of drink"
I see the clue "elected president " quite a lot. Does this allude to any president? Past or present? & is it likely to be initials?
& starting with crummy, would that hint at an anagram?

Ceffi, in this clue the 'elected president' is very literal - a two-letter word for 'elected' and the abbreviation for president. That goes inside a three-letter word for (a) drink. Crummy is the definition.

So I'm guessing Tinpot (CRUMMY)
Where elected = in
President = P
Drink = tot
T (IN P) OT
