I think Mendis' will be figured out sooner or later.
But as far as this match is concerned :
Game, set and Match Sri Lanka.
The worthy victors of Asia Cup.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
hmmm .... things have gone quiet since the last wicket
Is it really that dificult to play Mendis ..... possibly the 4 wickets r an answer to that
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Lankan captain took Mendis pretty quick off...he should have been given a couple of more overs in his last spell...
Ind 126/5 off 25.0 overs...
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
^ SL's tactic of not playing Mendis in the previous game against India is paying rich dividends.
Mendis with all the hype and being an unknown commodity created a lot of doubts in the minds of the Indian batsmen I think.

Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
/\But the damage is already done...may be they don't want to expose Mendis a lot...
PS: If Mendis & Vaas were in the last game against Ind...Pakistan would have been in the Final... :D
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Federer just played the key-points very badly...Rain
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
135/6
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
I had a feeling Mendis may cause some damage....but I didn't expect he will pick of FOUR in just 4 overs.....no chance of recovery now.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Now Uthappa gone
India 135/6 (27.0 ov) and in deep trouble
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
To face this kind of spin bowling....We need MEN (Tendu, Dravid, Gangu, Laxman), not BOYS.
I don't think these BOYS correctly reflect India's status of being "best players of spin".
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Mendis + Murali still left with 10 overs...
Ind 147/6 off 29.0 overs...
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Mendis strikes again...his 5th
154/7 off 31.3 overs...
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Mendis is back and Pathan is gone
India 154/7
after 31.3 Overs
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Mendis on hattrick...lol
Ind 8 down...
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Mendis takes his 6th wicket for 9 runs in 6 overs. Indian batsmen are having hard time playing this guy.
Re: Final * India v Sri Lanka * Karachi * Jul 6, 2008
Dhoni is out and with that the last man with any hope for India goes
India 160-9
