Mendis is very talented and very gutsy. This is will help him. With all due respect to Indian batting, still feel he will pose some problems to our batting. Only one batsman can catch him by neck unsettle him, and if Mendis can evade Sehwag, he will have easy life.

dada and tendulkar are best players of spinners anuj. i think u dont watch cricket properly
With the God of Cricket on our side, we should not really be worried about the result of the Test Series. We should be more worried about the number of Fifties the God is going to score in the first innings of the three Tests.
It is customary for captains to talk big before a series, and Kumble is just following the routine, though nobody really believes him, including Kumble himself. But there was an Indian Captain, who just before commencement of a series professed, "They would pulverise us to pulp." My question to the students of History is: Who was that great Indian Captain? Thogh he is no longer playing, but he still throws his weight around, and talks big.

No Sir. Kapil Dev in all likelihood might not have heard words like 'pulverise' and 'pulp'. It was the original version of the ' little master', one Mr. Sunil Gavaskar, who uttered these words before the home series against Pakistan in 1978-79. Ironically, India won the series 2-0.
y does kumble needs to open his big mouth whenever india is confident nobody can beat them or their batsmen result shows its face i bet man of the match is that ajanta mendis mendis such a funny surname

Stupid "joy". It is usual to interview a captain before a tour. A captain has to open his big mouth and not the ANUS like you.
Aren't we ashamed to talk about a junior spinner saying we are not worried much about him.. We have lost to Srilanka in most of the finals b'cz of their part time spinners like Jayasurya, DeSilva etc. Is the pattern changing.. we used to worry about fast bowlers earlier and now for Spinners.. Pity Indian Cricket!

We dont have to! Though he's a relatively inexperienced guy...he's got a real talent of the carrom ball which was never in the limelight in the past 30-40 years...Nobody else in the world was bowling that ...so its quiet understandable that out batsmen will need some time to get used to him. There is nothing to be ashamed off when u r learning about a new thing which is irrespective of your age & experience.
