to be frank the players are playing OK...but the thing is they cannot play/pick mendis currently. They need I guess some matches to pick his variations of his hand. The problem India faced with is as they cannot read mendis they try to to score some runs of Murali coz even if they play too defensively ...both Murali and Mendis will bowl all day long. So they are left with no option but to play some risky shots against Murali...but Murali is no mug and not really easy to score of in any format..so they failed. Unless out batsmen and computer experts/coach find some trick to cope with mendis I guess the problems will persist. The biggest problem against mendis is they cannot play with frontfoot coming to pitch of the ball stuff..as bowls little quicker than a conventional spinner means that less time and batsman dont know which way the ball is going and he is pretty accurate as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!
