Ajantha Mendis is Sri Lankan cricket 's new " Kumble "

Ajantha Mendis has suddenly burst into the world cricket scene through his mesmerizing display of spin bowlers against the Indian cricket team. Ajantha Mendis is however more similar to Anil Kumble than his idol, Muthiah Muralitharan

Ajantha Mendis is not a typical spinner like Muralitharan or Shane Warne but relies on his incredible accuracy to always be a threat to a batsman, irrespective of whether the batsman is batting on 0 or on 176.

Like Anil Kumble, Ajantha Mendis relies on his subtle changes of pace, direction and length to fox the batsmen

Ajantha Mendis ' real challenge is test cricket matches

There are huge expectations from Ajantha Mendis among Sri Lankan cricket fans and cricket enthusiasts such as myself. Its only once in a generation that a classy spinner emerges

Recently, there have been fears that there wouldnt be any near term replacements to Muralitharan, Shane Warne and Anil Kumble

If Ajantha Mendis does well in this test cricket series against the touring Indian cricketers, his future is almost assured, since the Indian cricketers are reputed to be such great players of spin bowling

Ajantha Mendis has a real challenge in the current test cricket series against the visiting Indian cricket team, but he seems to have the talent to justify his top billing

The outcome of the Sri Lanka Vs Australia World cup cricket finals could depend on the Barbados pitch

- some pitch doctors have claimed that the particular pitch on which the Sri Lanka Vs Australia World cup
cricket finals will be played is a real belter and will not aid pace bowling to the extent expected
