Blignaut's batting is a big bonus in the lower order for his team. He has a no- nonsense approach to his game and believes that the ball has to be given a big thump, if it is there to be hit. In the first innings he smashed a quick fire 35, which included two stunning sixes. In the second innings, he came out and hit a few boundaries to ease the pressure. Make no mistake, he is not an impulsive slogger of the cricket ball, when he hits, it stays hit!
