Flummoxed again eh?
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=play+a+blinder&btnG=Search&meta=
http://idioms.thefreedictionary.com/play+a+blinder
Note I said:
" ee's been playing a blinder (i.e. very well & very sneakily)."
& the dictionary say....
"play a blinder (British, informal) to perform with a lot of skill,
especially when you are playing sport. He's played a blinder in every game
so far this season. "
