Not quite a crab.

What were the odds on the new Sri Lankan left-hand opening batsman turning out to be a crab? The good news is, he doesn't look like one - none of that exaggerated back and across stuff of Ashwell Shivnaraine Katich. And 53 is not too bad a strike rate for a maiden Test ton, is it? Of course, Suleiman Jamaal Benn is not the most threatening of spinners, so I will reserve judgment, while noting an obvious ability to run the quick single and caress the cover drive.
