[stones2409]

Thanks johnalex & sarumite, No 83 I see the 2,4 bit, but why does Tea = 0

[Ternigapp]

Think currency for no52

[sedge47]

48) Could be 9 ( IX in Roman numerals)
75) 3 (3 strokes better than par in golf)

[puzzled-phil]

65) 230 . . . . half past two

[Ternigapp]

95. Anniversaries
65. Found on a board used in a sport

[Mamyalynne]

Well Sapphire is 45th wedding anniversary
Steel is the 11th so whether you just add to get 56 am not sure

[stones2409]

Thanks so much Johnalex Ternigapp & mamyalynne, any ideas on No 55

[gen2]

83 could also be
For Tea Two = Forty two

[Mamyalynne]

55) is surely forty something( two score) and edgbaston is a cricket reference, but which number next??LOL

[gen2]

55 is nothing to do with cricket - that is a red herring.

It is a standard cryptic ploy
Edgbaston Opener simply means E (the opening letter)

ON E(dgbaston) opener therefore = ONE

which is placed after two score to = 41

[stones2409]

Excellent gen2, thanks for explaining, was googling ideas re cricket

[Mamyalynne]

Well done Gen2 you sure are a cryptic buff a whole different way of thinking
