Thank you for your help

explanations:-

6d say = e.g., good = g, cricket side = on

11a out last king = G.R. (George), to have = own

8d no = nay, revolutionary means reverse that = yan not totally eager = kee(n)

[sedge47]

6d egg on (e.g - say, + G(ood) + on )leg side in cricket)
11a. Grown (GR = King George, own = to have)
8a. Yankee (nay reversed + not totally kee(n))

Yes - typo sorry.

nay < reversed not any.
