              "Midfield dominated".......... is a clue for Xavi, it's not very clean, but it makes for a nice sentence ;-)
              by a number 6........... x a VI
              who expands play ........... another clue for Xavi which also includes solution above "expands"
              (and expands our appreciation of Qatari society) ......... I'm really spoiling you here, another hint at Xavi who's a brand ambassador or some such for Qatar 2022 and has had some interesting pronouncements on Qatari society

                                    I still don't get the 'ai' bit. Definite knowledge gap, there.

                                          Sounds like a sinecure for Ricky Tomlinson - my arse! (5,6)

                                              Jayzus Guy, your clues are tough enough without having to second guess you letter counts

                                                And I've finished the PEXword


                                                But I don't understand these two

                                                Capital cover for old-fashioned retiree - Nightcap

                                                Whips dump leader — should get a trophy! - Ashes

                                                Comment


                                                  Lashes - L -> Ashes

                                                  Though I'd argue that the Ashes isn't a trophy.

                                                    And a bit of googling gives me that Nightcap Capital is a 'font', therefore:

                                                    (Capital) (cover for old-fashioned retiree) - double definition?
