thanks greedy i think its a bit of a stretch,
using the first letter of words as part of the clue seems a new development to d mail.

...but "w" is given at least in Chambers as standard abbreviation for "with"!

W(with) is quite common in crosswordland, i kinda took it for granted.
CW used to mean 'Coupled With' on records before people called them B-Sides but i reckon that there is a better usage than that.

runs = R (cricket term, i think).
put R into an anagram of 'identical lump'.
