I dont think u need any more then what the Indian line have for theoritical knowledge to play spin. Tendi laxman sehwag are one of the greatest players of spin u can get anywhere. Ofcourse when u come across a freak bowler u might have to start form the scratch as to how to tackle him u might take any help u can. But even Kirsten being a great player of spin i think this is the case of some time to digest this new style of bowling before u come up with a solution. He took 8 in the first test and 6 in the first innings of the 2nd test. This guy is dangerous for anybody. But the world will sort him out at some stage. Am sure Sehwag is the first among them. And I can bet it will be long before u can see another batsmen read mendis like sehwag did and make a double. I mean even by the whole world. right now its a more a case of a freak bowler being handled by a freak batsmen.
