**Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man**

This is why I read The Guardian's weekly cricket spot, "The Spin". This is the first instance I can recall of the use of the word "vellicate" in a sporting context anywhere. Good gear....

And kudos too, to Kevin Pietersen (though it pains me to do so) for producing a worthy quote re Mitchell Johnston.

I love that Tyson quote (and have used it several times, including a pre-match team-talk for Lewes Ladies before they played high-flying Cardiff). Quite articulate for such a destructive monster.
