http://mysterymendis.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 28, 2008. The phenomenon of Ajantha Mendis. Utter confusion prevails over what to term Ajantha Mendis. The mystery bowler from Sri Lanka, who before beginning his cricketing career was an Army gunner, was the latest spin sensation in international cricket this year. Were we finally seeing a bowler who had the ability to bowl six different balls every over? These bowlers are India's Narendra Hirwani (24), England's Alec Bedser (22), Australia's Bob Massie (21) and England's Syd Barnes (19...

Friday, November 21, 2008. Ajantha Mendis and Murali spin Zimbabwe out in Harare. Sri Lanka had little trouble capitalising on Zimbabwe's batting capitulation, reaching their victory target in a little over 33 overs to win the first one-day international by six wickets in Harare. The hosts lost their last seven wickets for three runs - including six successive ducks - to be bowled out for only 127 by Sri Lanka spinners Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis. But a partnership of 57 between Mahela Udawat...

Friday, July 3, 2009. Challenging new role for Mendis Sri Lanka vs Pak 1st Test 2009. The most important strand of this story, though, is. Like it should be with any self-respecting mystery spinner, Mendis' last year was eventful. This time last year, he was embarrassing the Indian Fab Four in Tests, only to suggest his mystery was wearing off in the subsequent ODIs against India and Pakistan and the IPL, before coming back to mesmerise the world again in the World Twenty20. Pakistan's Mohammad Aamer and...

Friday, October 24, 2008. The legend of Splendid Mendis by Damith S. Legend has it that Splendid was conceived at the foot of the mythical Adams peak. Thus people believe this is where Mendis draws his supernatural powers, enabling him to run through a batting line up with a mere flick of his fingers. When Splendid Mendis entered this mortal earth, it is said that that he thanked his mother for her troubles and told his dad “Ill take it from here”. That alone might not seem that impressive. It was a comb...

Sunday, February 15, 2009. Learn to read batsmen's mind, Jayawardene's advice to Mendis. After the recent thrashing against India, mystery spinner Ajantha Mendis needs to work on reading the batsmen's mind to regain his lost spark, believes Sri Lanka's outgoing skipper Mahela Jayawardene.

Ajantha Mendis Blog: The baffling, mesmerising spin of Mendis
http://mysterymendis.blogspot.com/2009/06/baffling-mesmerising-spin-of-mendis.html
Saturday, June 13, 2009. The baffling, mesmerising spin of Mendis. The spin bowler of the tournament to date has been Sri Lanka's Ajantha Mendis, and especially so against Australia. Against Australia, however, Mendis, the mystery man, was brilliant and deadly. Australia were hopping along at 48 for one off 5.5 overs when, in his first over, after beating the batsmen with a few deliveries, Mendis bowled Ponting, who, as he walked away, looked like a man who had just seen a ghost. Next over, Watson was le...
