you're really good Magpie - thanks very much.

I've just been checking through my answers and found I had one wrong -
53. A footballer would make a finer android (3,10)
I had Rio Ferdinand but am one letter out - any ideas? The compiler could have miscounted of course!!

I think you are OK if you include the A with finer android

Huston Street pitches for the San Diego Padres. Add an O and you get Houston Street which is a thoroughfare in downtown Manhatten.

MAGPIE - YOU'RE AMAZING - I've googled baseball pitchers abd roads in Manhattan til I'm cross-eyed. Wouldn't get that in a month of Sundays. What are your feelings on Q53?

I think I agree with ChrisE, seems too close to be a coincidence. Struggling with the other cricketers though. Maybe Bean for the source of coffee.

Isn't FINER ANDROID an exact anagram of RIO FERDINAND?

I think it must be a counting error by the setter.

Brendan - you're right - I hope he counted wrong.Even more frustrated now only need 3 - 48 49 & 65...................it's due in on Friday - will post results for your interest

49 Huw Waters is a Welsh cricketer on the fringes of the England setup. It's a bit of a stretch but if the setter thought Hugh then maybe.

I think I've thrown in the towel - can't wait to see the answers - roll on the results!!
