Just watched the highlights now, and just as I suspected all seekuge shots are to the leg side. This can be a problem as many grounds now have one longer side and one shorter side, so he could be trouble when leg side becomes the longer side. So the excitement for his inclusion died away a little bit, so I don't mind even if he was not selected. However as others suggested definitely he will always be useful in t20s. This is why Bhanuka Rajapaksha is a good propect despite his inconsistency, he can hit to both sides of the ground.
Also I'm very happy Lahiru Kumara got hit for 19 runs this last over, this is a blessing in disguise for him. Now he will understand that David Miller over was not a fluke, and he has a serious problem undertstanding when pace is a disadvantage, and hopefully works on cutters,slower balls on scenarious like this. Lahiru Kumara is a very talented bowler but if no coach can teach him these things for limited overs, I think he should only stick to test matches. Kind of like Dale steyn who is a gun at test cricket, but sparing success at limited overs.
