Ha ha! So near and yet so far!

Mo is correct. Malan with the letter “i” added is an anagram of animal.

    That's what I meant. Had the answer but couldn't quite work out why.

    All done. Thanks for playing!

    But I forgot to do the usual musical question thing. So, here’s my question. It’s not cryptic. It’s a straight question. 
    Which English Test cricketer named John at birth legally changed his first name to that of a musician whom he idolised? Clue: he played in the 70s.

    That would be the late Robert George Dylan Willis I believe.

    What a great cricketer - and person - he was.

    Bob Dylan played cricket? I suppose the words of one of his many great songs should have given it away ...

    ♪ How many times can the Pom bats collapse
    Before they lose their way?
    Yes'n how many times can their bowlers tear in
    Before they don't know what to say?
    Yes'n how many Tests can the England team play ♫
    Before they give the Ashes away?
    The answer, my friends,
    Is three.
    The answer is three.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
