that its not only mendis...you have to master...there are other bowlers too in srilankan team...
that the moment you slackens a bit...cricket will come and bite you hard...
contrary to the perception...pak bowlers did fine job even with gul being off color and it was the strong batting which caved in meekly...but despite all the harakiri they still had chance to win the match but i guess misbah's penchant for finding different ways of getting himself out came in way of pakistan win...waste of a talent actually...
now with murli coming in next test match it will be very difficult for pak to make a comeback...making this series even more interesting...
on the other hand it will be interesting to know who will make way for murli...and i have this feeling that it will be poor herath who, despite his marvelous effort, will have to sit out...
ps:
miandad sir...hope you watched this match to learn that match is not necessarily fixed to surrender it from winning position...or you still think the same way...?!

will Fab-four be tamed?
i have not sensed this type of buzz since the debut of sachin...for an individual player...
i wanted to title ind-sl series preview or something sort of that...but read everywhere...the series is already billed as our batsmen vs mendis...
so allow me also wash my hand of mendis bandwagon...
every where you read they are proclaiming how our batsmen will be under pressure of this cricket's latest mysterious threat...
agreed.
but they are forgetting to realize that mendis will be under more pressure...
all eyes will be on him...time will freeze as and when jayawardene will decide to toss bowl to him...
he has his suddenly acquired fame to defend...
everybody will be expecting wickets and only wickets of his alternate bowl...
for a young guy it will be the test of character...
what if wickets come in bundle? what if wickets wont come?
will he succumb to the pressure of expectations...or will we see a birth of new champion...?
lots of questions...the answer is about to unfold in couple of days...
my sole fear is that media will not spare him in either situation...
i just hope and pray that when the mystery of unknown unfolds... cricket will be winner...

bowling as net bowler to mates

but this time it seems he is quietly determined...
to make his mark...
to regain his lost place and glory...
