Comments on the clue
1.For cricketing enthusiast only, I fear.
2.Subtractive anagrams… boo hiss….
3.The 111 Nelson is named for the admiral so not really a distinct definition.
4.The poetic finish tagged on for convenience apart, the comma acting as a break between the two parts makes the clue not seamless
5.Lovely clue – a contender for my top pick but for the join between clues being a little more obvious than some.
