Suffice to say, whenever I see that the setter is Bradman or Neo I am a very happy bunny.

Alberich – 3 January 2013 – FT 14,201
http://www.fifteensquared.net/2013/01/03/financial-times-no-14201-by-alberich/

There will come a day that I will vote for a Bradman, because I really do like The Don’s puzzles (in all of his disguises). His crosswords are consistently good (in the same way as Dac produces high quality puzzles for the Indy), but it’s hard to single out one of his puzzles as being one that stands out.

Clue of the Month?
“As good as me? (4,2,4)”
Loroso – 17 January 2013 – FT 14,214 – 15down
What a great clue!
