Never mind the 😆, @WalkingCivilWar; give in to temptation!

...and why am I always the one getting these onto a second page?!

In all honesty, I stumbled onto the answer. It was one of Demonstone’s clues alone that did the trick. I never would’ve got it just by the players’ names. Even now I can’t see why certain names are there.

Less confused now? Probs more confused, amirite?

@Mazer Rackham has solved it.

It will all make sense when the solution is revealed in full.

1. And Tilly and Mazer didn't?!

2. As you can see, yes.

Without giving too much away, DS: I’m not entirely knowledgeable about the thing that links these players. One of your clues alone is what prompted me to have not so much a stab in the dark; rather, a stab in the half-light.

edit: @Timothy Reddan-A'Blew, there’s no clue in the above. But gimme a little time, and with Demonstone’s permission, I’ll come up with one.

@Allus Monk has identified the key, but is still looking for the correct lock.

I'll be away from Demonland until lunchtime and shall reveal the answer then (probably).

I would rather that others not provide their own clues, but I can't stop them doing that.

Don't forget that I have no more of these teasers up my sleeve, so this may be the last time you can participate.

After submitting 2 wrong answers, I'm gun shy from having another crack at this one.

But would Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh and Evelyn Waugh be a suitable line for this quiz?

Demonstone says he’d prefer we don’t give clues. But I’m sure it’s ok for me to say no, those names wouldn’t be suitable.

PS: not gonna lie, hella proud that I solved one of DS’s quizzes before you, Mo. 😘

No room for Auberon Waugh? (That's not in any way a clue. At least, it's not intended to be one. I have no idea of the connection.)

Please don’t, it’s still 4 weeks until rd 1.

I was going that 'geopolitical' path (as represented by the twins), too - through some PM-ing, I now at least feel like I'm dealing with a few less 'locks', but I can't find my keys anywhere!

Meanwhile, paradoxically, as readers may have been hearing in my posts, it has been a case of 'This means Waugh!'

I need more time. I might have to screenshot the team and the clues then not revisit the thread until I too have cracked it.

OK, fair enough, BA; that's one of the (lesser!) strategic options I was foolishly considering as an alternative to craven surrender. @Demonstone, please note: BA and I would like more time...

 

...and another clue?

[Demonstone 20,563]

I can confirm that the team has nothing to do with matters Waugh.

@reynolds46 has supplied the correct answer, but no other responses to date.

By popular demand, I'll leave this open.

Another clue, you say?  In addition to the one I slipped in this morning?

OK.  Demonstone.

Hey DS, idk if you’ve read the entire thread but I took the liberty of slipping in a little clue as well.

 I kinda feel sorry for the likes of Tim and Bombay Aircon. I know only too well how frustrating it is when you can’t crack it while others around you can.

I hope that’s ok.

Maybe I should’ve PM-ed this.

@Timothy Reddan-A'Blew can relax now, having finally become one of the Famous Five teaser-crackers.

Just found it!  The clue is indeed little and perfectly OK with me.

Sorry, @Bombay Airconditioning. I was hardly more confident of this answer than the handful I'd already tried!

I'm still waiting for a longshot listener from the loneliest throngs to draw a weapon from their singleton holster.

All good mate, I caught a flight this morning and have been driving etc so not much time. Will have a decent look tonight.

[Demonstone 20,563]

We can now add @Allus Monk to the list of solvers.  That makes a dirty half-dozen.
