A Utahraptor, perhaps?

In the face of some very good bowling on a spicy pitch, Latham, Conway and Williamson just…batted. They didn’t self-consciously deny themselves runs; they didn’t dominate; they didn’t get repeatedly lucky with edges and raps on the pad. They just batted without fuss and without flair. It was boring, and beautiful.

Dilophosaurus.

Well not sure about his run up, but his big bushy moustache and propensity to spit makes me think of whatever that dinosaur that killed Newman was.

Question for advanced students – not least Micko, apropos his Jurassic comment earlier this year:

– which species of dinosaur did Merv Hughes’s bustling elbows out run up most resemble?

It’s got to be the Velociraptor, hasn’t it? Turkey-like, yet surprisingly deadly.

In fact evidence would suggest that I even commented on that article…

Hah! I’m sure I probably read that article back in the day but don’t remember it, but it’s spot on! I love the trivia question “How many people did the T-Rex kill in the original Jurassic Park” because the answer is 1 but people always remember it to be much more if they haven’t seen the movie in a few years.

Not so, DC.; we are all individuals:

I’ve long suspected we’re all cult members anyway.

Did you unknowingly internalise this article and then live it out?
