Helpful Hints
- This clue's indicators are 'captain', 'against', and 'six... centres'. Two of these are selection indicators, guiding us to pay attention to only certain letters in neighbouring fodder. And 'against' is a positioning indicator (much like 'with' or 'by') - it doesn't reposition chunks of fodder, but keeps the surface smooth while instructing us to place some fodder next to other fodder.
- This clue's fodder is 'or', 'co', and 'highest-rated'. We'll use these letters (or some of them) to construct our answer, as guided by the clue's indicator(s).
- Our definition here is 'Pit players', and our answer will be a word for that which commonly plays in a pit.
