i love the analogy he made that went completely over my head.

"that's a bigger recovery than...."

I know this is late, but even I didn't know what he was referring to until I read this article - LINK. He is comparing the seagull to Rick McCosker who also got hit by the ball but lived to tell the tale.

Bob Willis, working up some good pace with his ungainly style, bounced Australia's Rick McCosker, who decided to take on the delivery and play the hook shot. Realising too late that he had been beaten for pace, McCosker was struck flush on the jaw by the ball, which then fell on the stumps. England's joy at capturing the wicket quickly turned to concern when McCosker collapsed to the ground, holding his broken jaw. The plucky opener was helped from the ground, but looked unlikely to take further part in the game.
