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

Sachin Tendulkar,Sachin Tendulkar is not a match winner anymore?

Sachin Tendulkar was, is and will be a match winner for the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar is God. I am obviously a die hard Sachin Tendulkar cricket fan, and get amazed by Sachin Tendulkar's ability to take criticism from the cricket fans of his own country

Sachin Tendulkar is a victim of the "argumentative Indian"

Sachin Tendulkar scored a match winning knock of 91 runs against the England cricket team and was undone only by Simon Taufel, the umpire. Despite this match winning knock by Sachin Tendulkar, sections of the Indian media, and armchair enthusiasts in India criticize Sachin for his "slow" knock of 91

Sachin Tendulkar was criticized earlier by Ian Chappell

At the height of Sachin Tendulkar's dispute with Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell suggested that Sachin Tendulkar should retire, citing Sachin Tendulkar's knock of 241 not out against the Australian cricket team as being "too careful".

Sachin Tendulkar has endured a lot of such criticism in his test career but Ian Chappell's reasoning for Sachin's retirement was the most stupid

Only the opposing international cricket teams must be eagerly awaiting Sachin Tendulkar's retirement

Teams such as the England cricket team, the Australian cricket team and the Sri Lankan cricket team must be hoping that Sachin Tendulkar retires soon, but criticism from the Indian cricket fan is stupid

Send Greg Chappell to Sri Lanka

Send Greg Chappell to Sri Lanka-The Australian cricket solution

The Australian cricket think-tank is in a serious quandary. The Sri Lankan cricket team is getting better and can seriously challenge the Australian cricket team soon

Coach Buchanan comes up with a great idea. "Hey, lets play the Greg Chappell trick again- This time on the Sri Lankan cricket team"

The Greg Chappell trick- how the Indian cricket team was vanquished

The Indian cricket team under Saurav Ganguly was almost threatening to eject the Australian cricket team from the top spot. The Indian cricket team actually tied the India Vs Australia cricket series in Australia 1-1, and Australia had to struggle with the help of Parthiv Patel and the umpires to save the last test

That's when Buchanan figured out the first phase of the Greg Chappell trick- Send Greg Chappell as coach to the Indian cricket team

This information was leaked to us by sources close to the former Indian coach

Adam Gilchrist-Nice guys sometimes finish first

Adam Gilchrist was the force behind the Australian cricket team's win in the cricket World cup,2007 in the Caribbean.

Amazingly,Gilchrist or Gilly, seems to lack the aggression characterised by the Australian cricket team.In fact, Gilchrist does certain amazingly ancient gentlemanly things, such as "walking",if Gilchrist thinks he is out, even before the umpire comes up with his decision.

The Sri Lankan cricket bowlers however,did not find anything nice about Gilchrist's batting as he thrashed the Sri Lankan cricket bowlers to all corners of Barbados.

Three cheers to Adam Gilchrist on his matchwinning knock at the cricket World cup finals against Sri Lanka

Australian cricket team may not be liked, but may be the best ever

The Australian cricket team lifts the cricket World cup,2007

The brutal batting by Gilchrist in the Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup finals reminded one of the great Viv Richards in the 1979 cricket finals.Gilchrist hit eight sixes in his knock of 149 as he single handedly demolished the Sri Lankan cricket team

Even Muralitharan could not stop Gilchrist in Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup cricket finals

The real contest of the World cup cricket finals in Bridgetown was the battle between Muralitharan and his quest to stop the rampaging Gilchrist

But, Gilchrist stamped his authority in the Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup cricket finals by even taking care of Muralitharan and his doosras

Gilchrist's success in the Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup cricket finals suggests nice guys still have a chance

Gilchrist is unlike the traditional Aussie cricketer in the Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup finals. Gilchrist believes in the gentlemanly tradition of "walking" , if he thinks he is out and doesn't really abuse the cricket opposition

The Australia Vs Sri Lanka World cup finals proves that its not all about Australia's aggression that makes them win-its sheer talent in players like Gilchrist and Mcgrath

Despite the bravado of the Sri Lankan cricket team players, the Australian cricket team is better at bowling and batting on a seaming wicket.

The Sri Lanka Vs Australia World cup cricket finals could thus depend on the true nature of the current relaid Barbados cricket pitch,

cricket finals will be played is a real belter and will not aid pace bowling to the extent expected

The Sri Lankan cricket team have won the World cup 2007 seminfinals Vs New Zealand to deservedly reach the finals. The key factors that led to a win for Sri Lankan cricket over New Zealand in the World cup semi-finals

• The Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand Jamaica World cup cricket semifinals had a slow pitch that aided spinners. The so-called pitch pundits for the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand World cup cricket seminfinals were absolutely wrong as the pitch aided spinners rather than pacers


• Muralitharan made the pitch look like a minefield during the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand cricket match


• The Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand semifinals will be remembered for Jayewardene's incredible match winning knock-True captains lead from the front!


• Upul Tharanga,who surprised everyone in the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand World cup 2007 semifinals,by returning to form at the crucial time


• The Sri Lankan captain and selectors for sticking to a long term plan for creating a world class cricket team. Despite failures in the Sri Lankan cricket team, which in one series, even lost 1-6 to the Indian cricket team, the Sri Lankan cricket selectors persisted with a consistent batting lineup and a long term plan

Three cheers for the Sri Lankan cricket team for beating New Zealand in the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand World cup cricket 2007 semifinals

The Jamaica pitch for the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand cricket semifinals will decide the result of the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand cricket match

In case the Jamaica pitch for the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand cricket match aids spin, Muralitharan,Dilshan and Jayasurya have an opportunity to dominate the Sri Lanka Vs New Zealand world cup cricket semifinals.

Sri Lankan cricket team thrashing Ireland in World cup cricket 2007

The Sri Lankan cricket team is thrashing the Ireland cricket team in World cup cricket 2007 match

The Ireland cricket team was bowled out for just 77 runs as Mahroof and Muralitharan made a mockery of the Irish cricket team's pretensions. Muralitharan's bowling to the Irish cricket team was a sight to watch, as the Irish cricket batsmen was subjected to some embarrassing dismissals

The Sri Lankan cricket team seem intent on finishing the target within 10 overs

Jayasurya and Jayawardene are currently toying with the Irish bowlers and the Sri Lankan cricket team seem set at a canter against Ireland

In summary, the Sri Lanka Vs Ireland Super Eights World cup cricket match promises to be a fun outing for the Sri Lankan cricket team

Lasith Malinga- Is Malinga the next hope for Sri Lanka?

Lasith Malinga is the next hope for the Sri Lankan cricket team

Lasith Malinga has amazed the cricketing world by taking four wickets off four balls. Lasith Malinga truly has prodigious talent and is sure to be a force for the Sri Lankan cricket team

Does Lasith Malinga throw?

Lasith Malinga has a sling arm action that is unique and rather funny- but is definitely not a throw. Lasith Malinga's arm definitely does not bend enough to qualify as a throw.

Is Lasith Malinga prone to injuries?

Lasith Malinga's sling arm action makes him really prone to injuries. Lasith Malinga is currently down with an injury for at least two weeks and may have to change his bowling action in the near future to avoid further injuries

Would a coach like Greg Chappell allowed Lasith Malinga to keep his bowling action?

Greg Chappell would probably have forced Lasith Malinga to change his bowling action immediately and not allowed a talent like Malinga to emerge in the first place. There is really too much coaching these days and less opportunities for genuine talents to emerge

Sri Lankan cricket team set to win cricket world cup?

The Sri Lankan cricket team has a good chance of winning the cricket world cup

The Sri Lankan cricket team has a great opportunity of repeating their 1996 World cup cricket win

• The Sri Lankan cricket team has a great balance of experience and youth at the top of the order(Jayasurya and Tharanga)


• Spin and Pace Bowlers (Muralitharan and Vaas)


• Attacking opening batsmen(Tharanga and Jayasurya)


• Technically perfect middle order batsmen(Sangakarra,Atapattu)

The Sri Lankan cricket team has the best wicket taking spin bowler in the world in Muralitharan and the most economical bowler in Vaas

In summar,the Sri Lankan cricket team seems to be the most balanced cricket team in the cricket world cup

But of course,
good international cricket teams have lost before in the cricket World cup!
