Conditions will be very different but I would be surprised if he batted lower than 6.<br />A man with a proven track record of scoring tons (elsewhere) doesnt want to be batting too low and run out of partners.<br />There will be times his free style of batting will be his downfall, but he could also push on against hopefully tired bowlers.<br />And he offers with the ball and is a brilliant fielder. I know how you felt about Broom in that respect...Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-72038069377841837242017-01-08T10:05:53.396+00:002017-01-08T10:05:53.396+00:00Mendis could be an inspired signing but I would c...Mendis could be an inspired signing but I would caution against getting too carried away with performances in what will be totally different conditions than he will encounter over here and what standard is domestic cricket in Sri Lanka? <br /><br />Neil broom came with a big wrap and I lost count of the number of video clips the club posted on Twitter of him carting New Zealand bowlers to all parts! Just saying we need to treat these stats with caution and personally I don't see him batting in the top six, not in championship cricket...jaspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-41432823700028014872017-01-08T09:18:02.510+00:002017-01-08T09:18:02.510+00:00Also I definitely see him batting in the top 6.
