Mendis is now having success against teams which havent played him before. Like Australia, New Zealend (3rd wkt now) or England (a hot favorite for 10-for). But teams who have repeatedly played him have figured him out. Dont agree ? Ask any Indian or a Pakistani :). They would agree here.
Success of Mendis would lie in a fact that how long will he continue to bamboozle the batsmen with his innovative bowling skills. This is certainly not an anti-Mendis or anti-SL post. ;). Just that it is an observation for Mendis. And moreso his talent would be judged when he tours India or Australia and South Africa, the 3 hottest Test playing nations. Alright i would add England too.
Sri Lanka dont tour West Indies that often. It seems end of Kiwi run in WT20. An encore of 2003. Just that there are 3 different semi-finalists now. Leave aside SL. Pakistan replace India, West Indies replace Australia and SA replace Kenya. Encore cos NZ failed then to make it to the semis.
End of last hope for Kiwis. The side embattling with injuries. 3 of the possible semi-finalists are now out of the WT20 and 3 most unlikely teams -- Pakistan, Sri Lanka and West Indies have made to the semis.
As of the last Super 8 is concerned, its final that India is winning the game.
