2...First for the man who sounds like he could be Robin Hood's trainer(6)...O?I??R
3...A declaration, but we promise it's not in cricket(4)...A??W
I may well be wrong about opener but I was thinking opening batsman.
A vow(promise)
Someone will come along and correct me probably. Sorry if I'm wrong.:-)
I think avow is probably right- I was thrown at first by the reference to cricket but it's simply pointing out that this declaration is not a cricket declaration
Yes they do Baldric- as in my post at 17:04 when I said the answer probably is declare.
Avow can mean declare, yes, but I think it's a different use of the word declare than that used in cricket
