Mendis is a good bowler. Also his weird action makes it very difficult for batsmen. He will give a tough time not only to our batsmen, but all others too.

I think Mendis should never b played on backfoot ............a mistake made by Indian team in the past..........Mendis's regular off spins & leg spins could b understood by his action...............as far as his mysterious 'carrom ball' is concerned, it should b played on frontfoot , treating carrom ball as a ball delievered by a swing medium pacer because it does'nt turns a lot, just turns as much as that of a swing bowler.........
technique used by Sehwag did also work ......smash him for 2-3 boundaries.....bring him in pressure........then he'll start pitching short-pitch ones which are much easier

Mendis has nothing but just a formula. Once the formula would be cracked he would be trouble...

MENDIS is better than Don Bradman in bowling. Just look in this small career, he has taken all man of the series awards and just about half of man of match awards. He will throttle Australia in tests also.

he is a good bowler and indians didn't really play him well.. he got the better of the indian batsmen.. but lets not forget that indians are good players of spin.. i'm sure the indian batsmen will come around..

In the current IPL season Indian batsman like Yousuf Pathan and Rohit Sharma has tackled him very well....SO we can expect that the our players will be performing well against him...

When he arrived on the scenes he surely looked threatening but now he is no more then a good bowler, who will take wickets here and there for his team. People now know how to deal with his variations.

Mendis, although classified as slow-medium, bowls a mixture of deliveries, including googlies, off-breaks, top-spinners, flippers and leg-breaks, as well as the Carrom Ball, released with a flick of his middle finger........he is good cricketer............
