Comments on the clue
1.Clue would have scored higher – but I am struggling with the idea of the wicketkeeper catching people in front of square…
2.Nicely done but L & T’s test careers didn’t overlap! (Also, unlikely that both openers would be caught in front of square by the keeper)
3.If "rod" = "wand" (I'm not convinced)and the cricketing references are authentic then this is fine
