Galumphs in, every sinew, let loose his tunderbolts
AS HE galumphs in smoothly from his run up and stretches every sinew to let loose his thunderbolts, Dale Steyn every inch looks a rugged predator pouncing on a prey. He makes compulsive viewing much like a VVS Laxaman in his true element.
Even though he possess raw pace up his sleeve, with Steyn it’s not about blowing a batsman’s head off. Yet men armed to their teeth and whatnot often appear to be a mouse in a cat show bracing up to him.
The South African pacer, with 13 wickets in three innings at an average of 15 so far, has asked difficult questions off the Indians, a side he relishes to bowl at.
The 27-year-old completed the 15th five-wicket haul of his career when he induced a thick edge off Harbhajan Singh’s bat a delivery to AB de Villiers on day two of the second Test. His figures read 6 for 50.
Please explain to me the highlighted parts. Though I know galumph means "to walk/move/run" in general.
