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 (?)

Sorry, no, Salem, though that dynasty is tempting.

You've all played very nicely, thank you; WCW most entertainingly, with creative flourishes of her bat.

He's a genuine opener, as the rest of the team is genuinely used (with a bit of shuffling in the middle order).

Think what could swamp a boat? Then say it with a separate-syllable '-ed' on the end.

    David Warner???!!

    As in, wave-ed? And a Spanish boat called a Dorner or similar?

    Damn! Seems Mazer beat me to it.

    I'm late to the party but no 1 is Warner. No-one got it coz the VIN number was sanded off the boat.

    I was over the page and missed this, Mazer! Humble apologies. And double points for the humorous hoick!

    Wave-ed dorna it is!

    And another 0.1 for you, @WalkingCivilWar, just later to the party.

    Thanks again everyone!

    That’s one of those runs you score when you or your batting partner get out but don’t realise you crossed on the wicket!

    Ok, so I’ve got a quick one in case one of Tim’s eleven contracts Covid. 
    The clue is: Catty Car

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
