Off the couch. Need the confirmation, but sure thing.

Was a bit concerned not knowing cricket but not to worry once I found the mechanism.

Off the couch and sure of it.

And did you know that the official rules of cricket allow for a tea break from 1:40 - 2:00 pm. (HINT - this is not a spoiler)

Think I'm OTC after being blanked this weekend (assuming I won't crack the code on MGWCC by tomorrow noon - - a fair bet).

Thanks, Ben - off the couch and confirmed on Crosshare. A fun solve and aha!, especially after this weekend's "solving" experience.

Thanks Ben.

Didn't get to spend time with the puzzle until today. Very relieved to confirm that no cricket knowledge is necessary! Confirmed off the couch from Crosshare! Thanks for the puzzle @benchen71 !
