Female birds for the Glamorgan batsman (4)
R?E? I have REES but why?

Closure of innings finishes with such an allowance (6) R???O? I have RATION but why?

Old player topped Siddle in the lead (7) V???R?N I have VETERAN BUT WHY?

The last one, lead = VAN. Put [P]ETER in, and you get VETERAN.

if you look up ree in the dictionary you will find that it is a female ruff

Thank you both very much. The VETERAN clue is extremely complicated & I obviously don't have the right dictionary (Pocket Oxford) because REE isn't in there! Your help is very much appreciated.

(DECLA)RATION>

Closure of innings= DeclaRATION Its not very subtle is it

Again, thanks.
