I've found this enjoyable but am stuck on 25a ...the works written by our Oly overstepped the mark (8). I have -o-alle- Part of the answer may not be clued.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks Cockie. Not being a cricket fan, I wouldn't have got that. I have 5 of the 6 thematic items. Look at the clues where part of the answer hasn't been alluded to ( in the preamble, unnoticed subsidiarily)
Yes, I've worked that out, and I've worked out the relevance of the title (which has nothing to do with the L crossword), but I see no link between the 6 3-letter segments and that theme, or any seventh word.
