    feel with hesitation (7): In bowls, a bowl that touches the jack is called (not very imaginatively) a toucher. Touch = feel, plus -er in crosswords often stands for an... er... hesitation.

    is this the sport for us bus co (9,6): greyhound racing

    Wine fastener (6) could just possibly be stopper, since it's also a term in canoeing:
    Stopper The wave formed immediately downstream of an obstacle over which water is flowing. Known as a ‘hydraulic jump’ in other circles. Large ones will stop boats, and those below weirs may be deadly.

    I was thinking Twenty 20 for that cricket tournament (sorry, I'm Scottish so not into cricket at all so no idea if it has an alternate name).

    I do get you - that's why I said I wasn't sure if it was called by an alternate name. :)
    Maybe twentytwenty. is it 6, 6.

    Think you may be right there. I suppose it just depends on how it's actually worded on the actual quiz.

    You're quite correct, damn it.

    My other idea was more far-fetched: hockey, hock being a wine and a key being a fastener of a sort. However, I suppose it should really be hockkey, then.

    I give up.

    I wonder if it says 6,2 or 6 but means 6,2 or 6,6, if you see what I mean. I am sure it is twenty20.

    I couldn't think of anything ending in key related to sport but I'd go with that one. hoc(k)ey

    Drain could be course but hopefully there'll be better suggestions.

    I'm glad you like it, because I'm far from convinced. :D

    Stopper was much better (but for its fatal flaw). :(

    It could be 'gully', which is a drain and also a fielding position in cricket.
