Dude.. let it be simple. The kind of bowler Mendis is, even Sunil, Vengsarkar etc. would have been thrown apart. In their time, spinners were orthodox and predictable. Sachin and Dravid are great players of spin, much better than the experts you mention. They have played likes of Warne, Murli etc. Such deadly unpredictable bowlers never existed in history.
