Samaraweera's Test average

Wow. I knew that Samaraweera's Test average was hovering over 50, but I didn't realise that his form over recent years had been quite so good - he averages a fraction under 70 since 2008. And yet, he's stuggling to get a look in for Sri Lanka because of his age - just over 35. Another example of insane selection - why are people so obsessed about age?
