Srilanka's unfolds new Weapon

If at all, it was not enough, Srilanka has now come up with another weapon and that too is a "Freak". The guy goes with the name Mendis who has already sensationalized the world of cricket with his carom ball as his coach calls it.

Srilanka's ability to produce such cricketers has been no new thing, it first came up in 1996 with Jayasuria and Kaluwitharana, both of these cricketers smashed the ball around as if it was a party going on. Then came the legend Murlitharan, with his weird action, he has taken over a 1000 wickets and has already been declared as the best bowler in the history of mankind.

And just when the world was praying that it has had enough of Murli magic. Mr. Pocket rocket (Malinga) came in with a bang with his slide action, which has been more dangerous for umpires, let alone the batsman.

Wasn't this enough? Well may be not for Srilanka, they have now introduced Ajantha Mendis, who with a peculiar style of bowling delivery have confused the best in business. Recent show of his magic was seen in the Asia cup, and in the first Test match against India. If you have any doubts, ask the Indian Wall, Rahul Dravid who was bold out by a Mendis Beauty. I would say he was "Mendisized"...

So for people who were pleading god to get rid of Murlitharan, hold on guys, he may not be the only threat any more!
