London Spirit’s Roelof van der Merwe put his thinking cap on to marmalize six enticingly innovative runs in The Hundred’s battle against Trent Rockets. Merchant de Lange dished out a well-directed bouncer and van der Merwe was initially ducking for cover, only to hoist his bat up at the eleventh hour and nail the uppercut to fetch half-a-dozen over third man.
The seasoned campaigner brought his presence of mind to the fore and earned maximum result with minimum effort. After all, cricket is not just a game of brawn but also of brains.
Improvisation. Innovation. Ingenuity.
