Answer 3

Yep wickets are wickets whether its the tail or the top order. Just like money is money whether you earn it from selling chocolates for a living or saving lives for a living.

Mendis has really amazed me, so has Prasad. These players have really amazed me in the way they have come into the national side out of nowhere and beaten the nerves and expectations. Im really proud of these types of players. If your a youngster and your given a chance you need to take it with both hands and this is exactly what these players have done.

Answer 4

Ajantha Mendis is really a "wonder" spinner! He is the new find of the Lankans and he is doing very well! He is shaking the Indian batting line-up (which is probably the best batting line-up in the world)! Even Murali himself said that he wasn't as good as Mendis when he started his career! Mendis had the best start and he consistent too......He is a very very talented bowler and has a long way to go!

Well I say he's just new and hot things are tough to handle... we've to see how everyone faces him after a couple of years

Answer 8

Mendis works hard, that is his strong point! he is consistent, plays sincerely for his team!

Answer 9

people have still to get used to his action

Answer 10

The Indian team ran into a hurricane and a typhoon known as Mendis and Murali. Even if Mahela or Thilan or Kumar or Malinga or Dilshan can not face this duo. Why ridiculle the Indian batsmen ? The duo can do wonders any where on the earth, not only in SRL and can bring the world to SRL. I support and appreciate the hard work of these two bowlers which revolutionised cricket. I hate the amount of money in Indian cricket that destroyed the game there. Everytime a batsman throws his bat, I suspect, he is looking to make a million dollars. Money destroyed Indian cricket. When they lose series after series, I hope that the money would evaporate and bring the cricketers to their senses and back to hardwork and toiling and sweat.
