miserly

Wood, on his return to the England side after missing the second Test, was the pick of the bowlers with 3-69, well supported by the miserly James Anderson.

He was excellent throughout - controlled, skilful and miserly.

"He was travelling back from Tewkesbury in the rain but he was too miserly to pay for a carriage so he decided to walk," said Mr Smith.

Liverpool and Boston may be separated by an ocean but are united by a common complaint from a section of supporters - that miserly ownership is holding their team back.

There’s my voice saying all the words I miserly held close while he was alive, asking him question after question even as I know each will go unanswered.
