England bowl their way into Final
Highlights: England decimated South Africa's top and middle order to win the fist Semifinal by 7 wickets. English bowlers led by James Anderson and Man of the Match, James Tredwell, asked several questions of South Africa's batsmen and got their wickets in reply. (12:54) | Jun 19, 2013
When people talk about "mystery" spinners, the suggestion is that you can't tell what they're going to bowl, not that they have a kind of delivery which no-one understands or has seen before. Jarrod says Ajmal's not a mystery spinner, he just has the off-break, the doosra, the karom ball (etc.), and you can't tell which one he's bowling... Sounds like mystery spin to me...
Jarrod's point about Mendis and his "antenna" (read: tell) making him effectively useless is what proves the point - he no longer offers any mystery!
