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

Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka's great cricketer, and a role model to aspiring cricketers

Sanath Jayasuriya, Sri Lanka's greatest cricketer has retired from test cricket. Sanath Jayasuriya 's retirement will be a great relief to international cricket bowlers around the world, who are always fearful of his big heaves over widwicket

Sanath Jayasuriya always played the same aggressive cricket game in test, one day or Twenty20 cricket matches for the Sri Lanka cricket team

Sanath Jayasuriya has had records in test, one day and Twenty20 cricket internationals

Sanath Jayasuriya is a classy act in test,one day and Twenty20 cricket internationals- Sanath Jayasuriya can play a crucial role in every form of the cricket game.

In test matches, Sanath Jayasuriya held the record for the fastest test century until it was recently eclipsed by Shahid Afridi

Sanath Jayasuriya will still be a force in one day international cricket and Twenty20 cricket for the Sri Lankan cricket team

Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for the fastest fifty in Twenty20 international cricket matches and that piece of stats should emphasize Sanath Jayasuriya 's destructive force in world cricket today

Here 's wishing that Sanath Jayasuriya gets to spend more time with his family now after his retirement from Sri Lankan test cricket

Jayasurya's comeback- Can Sachin Tendulkar revive the magic?

Sanath Jaysurya has made an incredible comeback to international cricket

Sanath Jayasurya was almost forced to retire at the start of the recent Sri Lanka Vs England cricket series. But Jayasurya has comeback in dramatic fashion by bludgeoning the cricket bowlers around the world and winning man of the match awards all over the place.

No one doubted Sanath Jayasurya's talent-but the whisper was out in international cricket circles that Jayasurya was past his prime. But Jayasurya's recent performances against England and now New Zealand have once again confirmed that Jayasurya is one of the most destructive opening batsmen in world cricket

Can Sachin Tendulkar too revive the old magic

In his heyday,Sachin Tendulkar could demolish a cricket opposition in a matter of a few overs,but the cumulative expectations of his cricket fans have had a detrimental effect on his cricket game and once finds Sachin to be playing way below his ability

In his prime,Sachin Tendulkar used to treat spin bowlers like Harris with such contempt,but his now venerable niceness seems to be dominating his personality

Sachin Tendulkar needs to wake up and realise that he is one of the most destructive batsmen that world cricket has ever seen,barring perhaps Vivian Richards

Wake up Sachin and show the bowlers of world cricket that you are not always nice!
