Mathews can bat at 5. He's wasted down the order. KJP can be WK. Hardly any good options for the other middle order batting option. SL batting "Talent"
I wouldn't push Mathews down to 6 for guys like DDS and Mendis.
Mendis has rarely played at 5 or below anyway. He'a top order bat. Can consider Mendis if the position in question is 3/4. Both are ordinary down the order in LOI, but DDS averages 46 at 6 in Test cricket. 4 hundreds at 6/7. So I pick DDS if it's between these two. Bowling is a bonus.
Not convinced about this batting position as I mentioned. I guess beggars can't be choosers. Sri Lanka talent.
