Ball sails for six after hitting bowler's head

[Sachinism]

In a bizarre incident in New Zealand's domestic 50-over competition, Auckland batsman Jeet Raval struck an Andrew Ellis delivery so hard that it hit the bowler's head and still crossed the boundary ropes for a six. Ellis, the Canterbury captain, passed a concussion test before completing his over and later on batted at his usual No. 6 position, "showing no obvious ill effects," according to a New Zealand Cricket release.

NZ has a lot cricketers where multiple generations in a family has represented the country..Hadlee, Cairns, Rutherford, Statham and now Astle. Hard to catch a break in India. Brijesh Patel, Shivlal Yadav tried, Gavaskar was a bit successful, Now SRT is trying harder.
