”We need to concentrate on all departments and we're looking at what we're capable of. How we can maximise our potential in batting, bowling and fielding? That is the key. ” - India's Test captain Anil Kumble

”You've got to pick him (Ajantha Mendis) up at the time of delivery. Our batsmen need to observe Mendis's wrist and finger movements at the time of delivery...then he'll become easier to negotiate. ” - Former great Gundappa Rangnath Viswanath.

”What he's (Ajantha Mendis) doing has been done before by bowlers like John Gleeson. He is a good bowler but I am doubtful about his success in Australian and South African pitches. He does not have variety in his bowling. His carrom ball is not unique, what is unique is his pace. His sudden rise to popularity is because of the fact that most of the world's best spinners have either finished their career or are in the twilight of their career. In Mendis, people are trying to find Warne, Kumble, Muralitharan but by doing so they are putting too much pressure on him. ” - Australian spin guru Terry Jenner
