Any ideas for 4d (6) 'Harder nearer rope'. I've got d-e-e-.

Also for 15a (6) 'Air, rail,cycling' I've put strain but for no real reason!

6d (5) 'Once sharper tongue' I've got Greek, but again, not too sure why.

Any ideas?

I am struggling with this one, also 18ac. I think strain is correct because it is an air [tune] and it is trains cycling [moving]

For 18a I've got Robert - apparently it's a type of herb and connected to cranesbill - no, really!

Apparently a"Greek" was an old name for someone involved in sharp practise.

Can only think of "deeper" for 4D ; don't know why ?

Greek Thomson was a famous glasgow architect

deeper in cricket is near ropes and deep is hard to understand
