Still, I look forward to seeing this Mendis myself. At least his name's easier to pronounce than certain other Sri Lankan players.
Yep, looks a decent enough talent, considering it was his 1st couple of ODIs (1 heavily rain effected..) His first class record speaks for itself.

Regarding his name, dont know about you but i dont fancy saying out loud, "Balapuwaduge Ajantha Winslo Mendis" every time i see him on my television screen..
