Does anyone understand the choice of the word “Amorim” in 11a?
I’m not entirely sure what it means or what it adds to the surface reading.

Jono, I assumed it was just the last letter of Amorim which contributed to the anagram? I'm finding this extremely tough btw

Hi Jono,

11a - Ruben Amorim is the manager of Manchester "United", so as well as giving part of the answer it adds relevance to United.

Simon, Bren, thanks! That shows might complete ignorance of football! 😂

Neville, yes to cricket (something I do know about), but Scotty is from Star Trek…

Hi Neville,

It is a cricket term and they're is a cricket called Scott Boland bit I think that's just a coincidence. In this instance Scotty is from Star Trek.

If my 3d is correct it would be quite a dangerous manoeuvre to try to duck under it!

Hi Redpete,

3d - Chambers gives one definition as "a fast head high ball" so ducking under it would be well advised.
