Obviously I’m no Test player. But I am glad that people are finally thinking like this at Test level.

Those guys have their own vehicles. They don’t need their boss’s.

Is the answer to the crossword clue, Not worth it?

Preferred the other 59 Sri Lanka had to hit off the last 3 (3, not some pantsy 4) overs to beat Australia in their last T20. That was quite epic to watch.

Yeah, I know, it’s T20, but the pitch at Trent Bridge was naff for bowling and no Jamieson to call on, and why the heck Wagner wasn’t playing is beyond my current thought processes, which have been somewhat limited by apathy.

Maybe NZ can put the Universe back in order by winning by an innings and something-hundred runs, thereby negating England’s series win.

There was a clue? Man these things are hard to unravel.

Don’t worry about it, it’s an easy mistake. The question is, did you solve the clue?

Do you not need to rearrange the two words into 1 across and 1 down for it to qualify as a crossword?

You’d have to be dim to think that. The reason why you’re wrong is so obvious that I don’t need to spell it out. In fact, if you can’t see why you are wrong you must be dim. Therefore, either you can see why you are wrong, and therefore are dim, or you can’t see why you are wrong, and therefore are dim.

You know, for the crossing of the words?
