well he's batted between 4-7 in 10 innings, batted at #8 for 16 innings. you're saying he has to throw his wicket away batting at #8 yet he has performed much better there. when he's batted higher than #8 and he's been given time to score runs and not throw away his wicket he's hasn't done well at all (averaging). he clearly bats much better in the #8 position than he does higher up the order. 10 innings is a decent amount of innings to see how a player goes in that role. he scored his century batting at #8.
