I stand corrected! Thank you, beanpole. The reason why I didn't do this is because, as you will know, not all the clues in these crosswords are cricket related and I didn't want non cricket lovers to skip over a clue that they might otherwise be able to help me with. Have you got IAMBS for your answer?
Yes and would have looked at it had I known it was The Cricketer. I find Sports Crosswords boring as most of the time they are factual with clues like played for West Ham in 1920 The Cricketer combines cryticism with the occasional clue which involves knowledge of cricket
