What goes through the mind of a batsman struck on the helmet

#1 A perfect opportunity to show off bravado

Just because you’ve hit me, it doesn’t mean you’ve got me

As the mind steadies itself and the focus reappears, I have only one thought now. Me being hit on the helmet has provided me with an opportunity to show off my bravado. There is a buzz of expectation in the air as the crowd shapes up for the next part of the duel.

The cold-hearted pacer is discussing something with his captain. Perhaps, the skipper wants him to go for the bouncer-fuller one theory. Unfortunately for him, I have deciphered his plan. Is there a better story in the game than a stylish batsman following up a bouncer with an exquisite cover drive? The feet is moving well again, where would I rather be now? Only on the cricket field, I suppose.
