I think he is alluding that Sammy is better than Dilshan. Sammy scored a Golden Duck while Dilshan got a regular duck.

A duck for Sammy is not surprising, just hope and pray he can get a wicket in this Sri Lanka batting line up.
There was a time when New Zealand was playing Guyana, Robert Adonis got the prized wicket of Terry Jarvis. Bevan Condon came in at # 3 and the name Adonis disappear.
Hopefully will not be a repeat, for RusselL.

Russell is a young and a fit kid... He will get a good run like Devon Smith...

but what is Southward's motives to start a thread like this? Dilshan was selected on merit while I can't say the same for Sammy.
Here is what cricinfo wrote about Dilshan...
With his relentless aggression, strong wrists and natural timing, Tillakaratne Dilshan is one of the most exciting batsmen in the game today. He is technically sound, but, much like Virender Sehwag, he uses the defensive option only as a last resort, after all the attacking alternatives have been explored. He loves to make room and thrash the ball through the off side, but the stroke that bears his signature more than any other is the one he developed for the 2009 ICC World Twenty20 - the scoop shot over his head, which confounded bowlers and experts alike.
In fact, 2009 was a watershed year in his career, and a huge factor was his move up the batting order to open the innings in all three forms of the game. It was a move that proved his making, as he exploited attacking fields and amassed huge scores in all formats: he scored 11 international hundreds in the year, and won the World Twenty20 Player of the Series prize.

What is his point for starting that thread? Dilshan and Sammy are miles apart so what is he trying to compare?
