Hi, Can anyone help me with some of these clues.

25a) What many a frenchman must have uttered on hearing they had lost the olympic bid. (4) O_T_

63a) Central Indian city whose cricket ground was turned down as a potential Test match area. (6) _H_P_L

71a) These were ahat 5 down was waiting for all summer in the field. (5)

93a) Hit six, Coe be in bobsleigh, perhaps. (3-5) I_E / _O_E_

Thanks in advance!

25 an OATH presumably (as merde doesn't fit!)

63 Bhopal ? But check....

93a Ice-boxes? I suggest that as it looks as if the clue is to be an anagram of "six Coe be". Are bobsleighs called ice-boxes? Oh...and is it bobsleighs in the plural?

71a. Unless you tell us what 5 down is, we can't help you solve this one!

Sorry, 5d is adam gilchrist

71A Catch, He's Australia's wicket keeper

[taylorjo4]

It can't be that. The letters are _D_E_

Any ideas?!

71a) Well if the clue says "these" it's got to be a plural; would "EDGES" work? I don't know enough about cricket but that seems a vaguely familiar term...

Spot on dtw. Taylor, if you knew that in the first place why didnt you say so?? We dont all buy the Sunday Post, and we are certainly not mind readers. You have to help others in order to help yourself.
