Just stuck on one :

65. Cricket side put in - ridiculous (7)

Also have another query -

56. Might be overseen juggling (8) I have VERONESE as an anagram of overseen, but in that section of the quiz the first letters of the answers spell CHAGALL making that answer to begin with G, but can't see another possible answer.
Any ideas?

Fantastic Crofter, thank you very much for that, would never have got it myself!
56 ? Garofalo ...also the name of a composer who wrote an opera called "The Juggler"
Question Author
Thank you so much slaney, have looked him up and he is also a painter, or at least there is a painter called Garofalo!!
Thanks again, I can now post it!!
You're welcome .. the painter Garofalo I knew about ... just a lucky google to find the composer as well.
I keep coming back to this VERONESE - OVERSEEN link"
If it is possible, I'd send in a second copy with Veronese as the answer (as well); This is too good a link to be pure chance.

Hi crofter, yes I was in a real dilemma, but in the end I went for slaney's idea because of the juggler link, because of the first letters of that set of seven clues spelt the artist Chagall, (it had stated at the top of the quiz that they would spell an artist) so I desperately needed an answer begining with G, I am praying that it was just pure coincidence that veronese was an anagram of overseen, I posted it yesterday, so I have fingers crossed! thnk you very much for all your help.
I agree ... seems a waste of a very good anagram!
But, it looks like a "g" required for the answer, even though a little contrived , and not so satisfing.
Good luck!
