Please parse these for me
1. Badges and pins dig in without caps, I note. Ans Insignia (badges and pins) . No idea
2.Sack England's opener after key game. Ans Cribbage. Thought it might be crib=sack (as in hit the sack) then bag and E but I can't see why bag would be key.

(p) INS (d) IG (i)N I A (A is a note)

[bobbinwales]

E is the key in the cribbage one maybe

[bobbinwales]

Forget that, E is Englands opener/first letter

[Lie-in King]

Cribbage - 'bag (sack) E(ngland)' (after) 'crib' (key; crib translation [Chambers]')

[bobbinwales]

definition of insignia is just badges

[dannyk13]

Cribbage - Crib (key, as in list of answers) + bag(sack) + E(ngland)

[dannyk13]

Sorry L-ik, your post wsn't there when I started thinking :-)

[Lie-in King]

No problem :-)

[bobbinwales]

Just to clarify mine
pins dig in without caps/first letters is INS IG N
Then add I A

Thanks all -I thought insignia included pins which particularly Americans call those little badges that you pin to a lapel. Wrong again !
