The Srilankans poised to settle scores on their home-soil.
While the aam-Indian-aadmi is battling one kind of terror from those terror outfits, our cricketing heroes are being subjected to another kind of terror - "the spinning ball terror". It's not fair to be unfair to any of the Indian batsman for their seemingly inept display. For once, let us stand up and acknowledge the splendid bowling efforts of the magical Murali and the sensational Mendis. The duo would be a lethal combination to the world batsman in the years to come - at least on the Srilankan terrain and till Murali decides to hang up his shoes.
They all know what Murali's repertoire is - still, the batsmen has fallen to his tricks and guile time and again. If that be the case how can you face as unknown weapon that the Mendis unleashes on you? He has this amazing control and ability to nibble with the ball at the very last moment of delivery and that dictates the type of the delivery - Off spin - leg spin - googly - straight one ......It would certainly take make many video clippings of his bowling to understand and predict his deliveries. Till such time it would be just a guess work for the batsman - I guess.
The best we, the Indian fans, can do is hope and pray for a better display of patience against these two "Terrors" and also hope that Jayewardene would not get it right on the challenges next time!!
