What's a stock ball?

Question

I read in an article that Mendis doesn't have a stock ball and that could let him down in the series against India.

Answer 2

A bowler's standard delivery; the delivery a bowler bowls most frequently. Bowlers usually have one stock delivery and one or more variation deliveries.

Answer 3

Stock ball is a std ball bowled by a bowler as noted by the others.

However Mendis' stock ball is delivered differently than standard spin bowler. The way he bowls it puts a lot of strain on the middle finger.  As he hasn't played a 5 day game before this is going to be a big test for the young man.  If his bowling hand becomes fatigued he is going to struggle and potentially weaken the SL attack.  

Let's hope he strikes quickly :-)
