5/179. Rain delay.
Taylor 70*, Nicholls out for 42.
Cricinfo has it correct, re. Dananjaya. The Cricket.com.au site is giving the wickets to Parera.

It's only Dananjaya's 6th Test.
His 5fa, today, takes his tally to 32 wickets. @ 22 runs per wicket. Outstanding numbers. Probably a Murali protege.

Well, I haven't looked up how many centuries Kane and Virat and others have. If we want numbers, the average matters more to me than the number of centuries, but clearly they don't tell the full story. I mean, for starters, Steve bats lower than the others.

Meanwhile, they are showing Brett Lee bowling and Bill Lawry commentating.
"Only 21 years of age." Who, Bill? Brett?
Hmm...

Both Tests are delayed by rain. (Stumps called in SL, we're told.)
Time for Nicksters to catch up on all the posts in Nick's Sports Bar.

He's probably underrated outside NZ.
And it looks like he was the victim of ridiculous NZC politics, as I quoted in the ODI WC thread (during a different rain delay), in the four posts starting here:

e.g. Martin Crowe: "Over the last week NZC destroyed the soul of Ross Taylor, easily our best player."
