Thank You Belling.
Where does sport come into it(and the word pit)?
Also I don't understand when you say "(hence beginning of appropriately".
sorry, trevor.

Belling Cracket or cricket !! ??

MD - its a CRACKET (3-legged small stool)
Trevor - beginning of appropriately = a prop hence prop forward in Rugby.

MD - have just looked in dictionary and yes a small stool is also named as a Cricket. Cracket is a Geordie name for a 3-legged small stool so maybe either answers are correct.

Belling Sorry to trouble you again AS you will know Chambers is the Rainbow bible ( no Cracket) Also it is hardly a household item I se what you are saying about the anagram not precise though

beginning of appropriately = a pprop, does a pprop play cracket?

Trevor Belling There are of course short legs in a cricket team ??

Yes there definitely are short legs in a cricket team, I looked it up not being expected to know anything about cricket, so it does fit in better than a lot of hairy, black-faced miners lying down in the kitchen... and it's definitely better than creepie which I had pencilled in because it was the only low stool that I could find, so thanks everyone, one less to go.

Agree with you Campanilla. I actually do play cricket so I definitely go along with your solution
