My red herring was the saying. I kept thinking of Rolling Stones or Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones.

I see how "sticks and" equals Rixon, but how does "rustle" give you Steve?

 

🤷‍♀️ Maybe a case of premature celebration on our part.

 No. 4: Steve Waugh? Weave store

Tick! (though that was one played by mo standing at the non-strikers end, I'm afraid...)

I feel like no. 11 is Shane Warne because shorn can mean cropped. But I can’t figure in the Wayne part of it.

A non-striker getting a run on the board? That’s just not cricket! 🧐

That’s clever! I didn’t even consider bread. I was going down the path of crumbs! as in, an exclamation like darn it! Or shucks!

To 'reive' is (was...) to 'steal cattle'...

Apologies.

Late-night (early morning!) summary of the outfield catches:

1. Swamp-ed Spanish fishing boat? No-one yet (apart from 'reive', this one's the most esoteric, I guess...)

2. Crumbs?! @reynolds46

3. She pretends to go up the hill? @Demonstone

4. Tapestry shop? @mo64 (at the non-striker's end, and 0.1 to @WalkingCivilWar, not being aware of that)

5. Artist Ken's 'Denim Period'? @Demonstone(minus 0.1)

6. That man waits in line. @mo64(and 0.1 to @WalkingCivilWar)

7. Rustle, saying, '______ ___  stones...' @WalkingCivilWar

8. Cheese off market? @mo64

9. Trick type. @mo64

10. Surround Shirley @Demonstone

11. Hay, gathered then cropped! @WalkingCivilWar (and 0.1 to @Doggas front teeth for trying to help)

12th man. 10 marks for German? @reynolds46

Just the swashbuckling opener remains then!...


# 1 is one of the Marshs.

Rod,

Geoff,

Mitch,

Shaun

(I think??)

Edited by Salems Lot

The only swashbuckling openers I can think of are Keith Stackpole, Michael Slater and Matt Hayden. No Spoonerisms for Stacky, so it must be either Slick Mater or Hat Maiden. But I'm clueless as to the answer.

I thought by swashbuckling opener, @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew meant he’s the first player on this list and not necessarily an opener in real life. 
Like @Salems Lot(above), I can’t veer away from it being a Marsh because of “swamp.”

All I can offer is Doug Bollinger. Bog for swamp, and the slimmest chance of there being in existence a Spanish boat called a Dullinger (stop laughing!)

Methinks this guy’s gonna end up carrying his bat. Unless of course Tim is kind enough to give us a clue (?)

We could say @Doggas front teethwas my runner (like back in the day). While the run is credited to me, he should get half a point, at the very least for not getting me run out. 😁

  • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG after a dismal performance in Gather Round to face the reigning dual Premiers Brisbane. What do expect to see from the Dees today?

  • PREVIEW: Brisbane

    They really had me fooled when I picked them with great confidence to beat the Bombers at Gather Round last week. I should have recognised that nothing is more quintessentially Melbourne than defeating the undefeated early premiership favourite one week and losing to a winless cellar dweller on its way to establishing a record losing streak the next.

    Melbourne’s much vaunted finishing power evaporated at Adelaide Oval on Saturday afternoon, exposed for the third time in four years by its Essendon Gather Round hoodoo.
