We need to add a ‘like’ feature to the comments.

My cat sometimes vomits on the floor like Neil Smith in the 1995 World Cup.

Brett Lee scratched Andrew Strauss behind the ear in 2005. He didn’t seem as if he liked it.

Is it possible that in fact ALL cricketers are similar to cats?

They do spend a significant proportion of the time apparently doing very little (either in the pavilion or in the field) and are yet seemingly ever-ready to react quickly when something happens.

Their days are structured primarily around mealtimes and food.

They are often strangely afraid of ducks.

As of yet I have seen little evidence with regard to whether cricketers like being scratched behind their ears. More research is needed.

There are also some ways he is not like a cat.

We didn’t say he was a cat.

I don’t think Rahkeem Cornwall could prowl around the Noddyland garden looking for unsuspecting birds, sometimes jumping up on the trellis in the process.

I don’t think Rahkeem Cornwall would run away like the clappers if I were to bark at him in my near-legendary “mad dog” fashion. In fact I think Rahkeem Cornwall would probably stay put and chortle instead.

I don’t think Rahkeem Cornwall is like a cat.

But when do I say ‘not any time soon’? Any time soon?
