ReplyDelete30a isnt NATO code z after Y!
ReplyDeleteZ for Zulu?
DeleteChecked up. Yes.
DeleteIsn't that what is written in the clue?
DeleteKishore,
ReplyDelete20D- Crease is not a position in cricket field. Mark would have been better.
Position would indicate a fielding position like slip,gully etc.
Mark is in the New Testament, Paddy :)
DeleteMark is also what one gets in an exam!
DeleteMark can be anywhere.
Oh! You had to get from OT- missed that.
DeleteBut this solution word is not part of the theme Or you meant it in a lighter vein.
Latter, of course...
DeleteKerosene was well done and numbers! (Setter's fav.)

Observation: All the themed words are in Down clues and are plural!
ReplyDeleteAgree on first part of observation. Genesis and Exodus are singular. Others are plural in the OT and hence here too.
DeleteVery nice rangoli by Gowri and artwork by Prasanna. Wishing you all a very happy Ugadi, Gudi Padwa and Cheti Chand.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for Yugaadi and all its variations. Nice Rangoli by Gowri accompanied by nice artwork by Prasanna.
ReplyDeleteHappy Ugadi to all !

ReplyDeleteThank you all for your wishes and support. Have a gr8 day
ReplyDeleteHappy Ugadi to all. Nice artwork by Prasanna and Gowri!
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Kishore!
ReplyDeleteOur Ugadi gift.
INCREASE - the clue merely said position in cricket field. Crease is a position. No? Not a fielding spot - but a spot in the field. Kindly clarify.
Loved NUMBERS, GENESIS, EXODUS, PROVERBS.
Thanx Kishore.
Crease- position? Kishore refers to OT- Old Testament!!
DeleteI didn't get OT reference.
DeleteFor a batter in cricket, staying in crease means staying in position.
Out of crease, behind crease refer to changing positions.
Happy Ugadi to all of you and your families!
