Ajantha Mendis has cleared any doubt which lingered over his abilities in the longer version of the game with 26 wickets in his debut Test series. It appears Mendis will have batsmen flummoxed by his accurate length and consistency the world over.
Sandeep Dwivedi, in the Indian Express, says watching tapes of Mendis might aid batsmen. He gives a handy tip to those who will be poring over the footage from the recently-concluded series to solve the puzzle.
The Mendis footage can be divided into two categories: ‘How to play’ and ‘How not to play’. The first section will mainly feature Virender Sehwag while the second category will have a collection of batsmen in different states of discomfort against his variations.
