I am quite sure the second letter t is correct.( smelt a rat).
Could you parse for me?
Thanks for the help
Cook would be applauded (clapped)before his last test innings.
Smell a rat?
Question Author
Got it thanks!
There is a problem with the clue

The definition is ‘was surprised’ which should be smelt a rat but it parses as smell a rat - Lara (cricketer) inside smelt (something fishy)
15dn should read 'Be suspicious' rather than 'Was suspicious'.
Sorry - yes, I meant suspicious. I agree it should be ‘be suspicious’
