He has to bat slightly out of position at number five, but
Asanka Gurusinha was such a machine in New Zealand that it is certainly worth it. In nine innings, he made scores of 70, 119, 102, 50, 29, 2, 8, 28 and 127. 50+ scores 55% of the time, 100+ scores 33% of the time, and three of his four failures came when playing as a makeshift opener in the world's hardest conditions to open the batting.
Happily also continues my trend of picking players for my team who are a bit off the beaten track.
