It would appear "Ganguly the spin playing merchant being in the dark against Narine" being a case for Narine's excellence-is quite weak. Mendis did betteragainst players who were still playing. I rate Ganguly as the weakest player of spin out of the fab four-laxman is probably the best though under-rated

The final of the asia cup-you'll notice Mendis had far more variation not only in making it go both ways but also in flight and varying his pace

And for those bagging mashrafe and saying he failed etc etc-we mentioned before Lee has gone for 24+ runs many times in an over as has many other players.

Here's another example

SOme of us are ready to jump onto our players' backs as soon as they stuff up as though we've been waiting all along-even if Tamim had failed in a solitary match that would in no way be an argument against him playing as others have failed far more badly
