We only finished this one this morning, but it was well worth it – very satisfying clues.

A beautifully clued crossword. Thank you Gordius for the quality of this one. The carping above is almost entirely unwarranted.

The reference to Sir Viv is timely, given that the West Indies v England series starts next Wednesday. The great man is to be heard on the Test Match Special radio commentary.

Another American ringing in on Richards.
I don’t expect any catering to us. Got the answer although perplexed at the reference.
With alien spelling, place names, sports etc. the challenge is stimulating.
Apologize (ise) for the late posting. I do these before dinner, and it’s 6:24 here.

Apparently not. If your collective usage of the language is so demonstrably sloppy, it’s no wonder I can’t handle the slopiness that you are forever defending as fair clues

what is slopiness? My chimbers says “the act of sloping as a loafstyle”
