After this performance by Dan there will be a lot of people pushing for him to go up the order.

They have been for a while, mate. There is a school of thought around here that Dan does not want the responsibility of moving up the order. He prefers, or seems to prefer, batting down the order despite logic and sense dictating that he go up to 7 at least. But it may that doing so would be too much responsibility for him - that is, once you factor in the bowling and the captaincy etc. In other words, he prefers being where he is.

Yeah, but he probably doesn't feel comfortable batting further up. We have to be glad he's doing so well lower down though. He must easily be the best no 8 in the world.

Well done Sri Lanka - by far the better team over the series. Though surprised they let us score so many in this last innings - have to point at their reliance on an injured Murali as part of it. Number 2 in the world, who knows, but definitely in the top 4.

Will be watching closely how they go in their next series against <I don't know who>.

My ass. I highly doubt you're a kiwi. You fit the far left particapation brigade far too perfectly. You sound more patronising to me.

Now lets think, who posts offshore that follows Sri Lanka, doesnt rate NZ, is a complete and utter dickhead, has a history of multis and got banned recently? Hmm cant be MendisNuffSaid surely?

Dan's average went up by just under a run to 29.64.

Guy is an animal - last five years average with the bat - 41. With the ball - 28.

He is Hadlee.

Dont know Flem, the guys join date is Nov 2008. IIRC, MNS was posting around here at the start of the year wasnt he?

But agreed that I dont think he is legit.
