Marvellous!

Owa (is+Sh+a ) h

around/about = double indicator ("whoa" anag+around "sh" in the middle of is+a),
with "in the middle" also being a hint to him being a batsman.

I was waiting for the approval of TC - but by popular demand here is my clue.

Josie and I part company only to find a botched thump surrounded by feathers.

José Bosingwa

Josie and I part company = Jose

a botched thump = singw (anagram of swing)

surrounded by feathers = boa (feather boa) Bosingwa

Final breath might be H....

Making dinner = surname Cook?

Or 'making' might be an anagram indicator....rearrange the letters of 'dinner' or tea = ate perhaps? Stumped rather!!

"Stumped" you say? Ironic turn of phrase considering



Cook is right btw.
