There is nothing average about the way Rassie van der Dussen has taken to ODI cricket.

Only Australia's Michael Hussey, who also belatedly took to the international stage, batted with more boisterous, effervescent overflow in his first 30 ODIs.

Van der Dussen's knock helped lift his average in the ODI arena to an eye watering 73.62. While he acknowledges that individuals in the sport are defined by the numbers, he chooses not to be weighed down by them. “Sometimes I appreciate that from the outside it might look like I'm doing something else, but my only motivation going in to bat is always to get the team in a good position or to win the match.Being organised, thoughtful and calculated helps when you are trying to dig your team out of a hole.

“Generally the wicket here is quite slow and you can't let the spinners settle. It is difficult to go straight down the ground because there is no pace to work with. The pair share intimate knowledge of each other's game and were perhaps the ideal partnership for the Proteas in the situation they found themselves in at that time.
