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.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day and the Demons have made the long trip west to take on Fremantle tonight at Optus Stadium. Can Melbourne make it two from two to start the season, and what are you hoping to see from the Dees under the lights in Perth?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.
