Tying in first place with 25 points each are LowdownCryptic with

Nicest bats for cricket, perhaps (6)

and Ruskin’s

Small creature quietly removed from view

Another tie on 20 points for joint third sees the bronzes go to Kalyan Bandyopadhyay for

Nicest bats for cricket, maybe

and Textrous with

Bug doctor notices when Oxygen-deprived

And in 5th is Satyen Nabar taking us back onto the pitch with 19 points for

Nicest bats for cricket perhaps

Surely this must be a first, for a single comma to separate first and fifth!

This week’s winner (on the judge’s casting vote) is LowdownCryptic who will be in the hot seat for the next word.

SR: Congrats Larry – your clue is now in our HALL OF FAME. Thanks for hosting Nathan.
