    Thanks, here's me looking at English football grounds all evening (not Scottish) and the ways to cook an egg.:rolleyes:

    For 9d, Jack to start batting - OPENER - is a ref to England's Jack Hobbs 1882-1963. Someone asked about it somewhere in the threads.

    Overset: means too many words to type, a bit vague I know but there is a connection.
