Dravid Says that Indians can tackle Mendis
Ajantha Mendis wrecked havoc when India toured Sri Lanka in 2008 but senior batsman Rahul Dravid hoped this time around he and his colleagues are better equipped to tackle the 'mystery' spinner in the forthcoming Test series beginning in Galle next month.
Mendis demolished the famed Indian batting line up in his debut series two years back by capturing 26 wickets to help Sri Lanka beat India 2-1 in the three-Test encounter.
But Dravid said since then the Indians have mastered the mystery spinner and hoped for a better showing from his teammates in the forthcoming series.
"He (Mendis) is still a good bowler. He was completely new to us when we toured Sri Lanka last time (in 2008). He got the measure our team last time, there is no doubt about it. He played a major role in the series. But hopefully, we have learnt our lesson," the former captain told reporters at the launch of the 2010 Limca Book of Records.
"I think we played him pretty well when he came to India. We learnt how to tackle him. Having said that international bowlers keep on improving, international bowlers come up with new tricks everytime. But hopefully we will have the answers whatever Mendis throws at us this time," Dravid said.
Dravid also predicted a challenging three-match series against the islanders which begins with the first Test in Galle on July 18.
"Sri Lanka is a very formidable team and they play tough cricket at home. In the last two times we travelled there, we won a Test match but did not win the series. It is a positive sign to win a Test there but it is now important for us to keep that performance going right throughout the upcoming series," he said.
"It is going to be a challenge but we have got a good team. We have got bowlers who are capable of taking 20 wickets, which is important to win a Test. If we can put runs on the board, hopefully we will have a good series," the right-hand batsman added.
Asked about his own preparation for the series, Dravid said, "I would not need to make any particular adjustments in my batting for the series. I have been training and preparing for the last six weeks keeping in mind the series.
"I got a good gap after IPL and it has given me time to be with my family and do a bit of physical training. It was a good break for me but now it's time to get back to cricket."
He, however, agreed that it would be a challenge for him to return to Test cricket after such a long gap.
"Sometimes, it is little bit of challenge to return to Test cricket after a long break but there is preparation time in Sri Lanka. I am looking forward to some match practice before the series," Dravid said.
Dravid also said that Yuvraj Singh, who makes a return to the national team, will answer his detractors in the series. "Yuvraj would be keen to do well and prove a point. I think we will see the best of him in the series," Dravid said.
The former skipper disagreed with the notion that his shoes would be difficult to fill in once he quits international cricket.
"Without naming anyone, I would like to say that there are plenty of players ready to take my place. Abundance of young talent is coming through," Dravid said.
Meanwhile, Dravid congratulated ace shuttler Saina Nehwal, who won three consecutive international titles in a span of three weeks to jump to the third position in the world rankings.
"It is phenomenal achievement by Saina. She is a great inspiration for a lot of Indians. It is incredible to win three competitions in three weeks in a sport like badminton which is physically very tiring. She has set benchmark for a lot of youngsters," he said.
Dravid had also some thought regarding the poor standard of refereeing in the ongoing football World Cup in South Africa and said it is high time that FIFA take the help of technology to make the game better.
"It is a world class event and such a big event. When so much riding is on each of these games, I think there is room for technology. The world body (FIFA) should think about it," Dravid, a die-hard Brazil fan, said.

Aussies to Play for Pride
Australia captain Ricky Ponting fell on the crutch used by many a beaten England captain when he urged his team to play for "pride" as the one-day series against their old rivals was lost.
The world champions top-order, for the third time in a row, failed to fire as Australia were bowled out for a mere 212 in the third one-day international at Old Trafford on Sunday.
An attack led by left-arm quick Doug Bollinger and featuring recalled fast bowler Shaun Tait, who between them shared six wickets, then reduced England, cruising at 185 for three, to 203 for nine.
But Tim Bresnan`s 14 not out saw England to a one-wicket win with five balls to spare and gave the hosts an unsurpassable 3-0 lead in the five match campaign as Australia suffered their first one-day series and tournament loss in eight contests.
"What we have to do now is show a bit of pride in our performances in the last two games and try and salvage whatever we can," Ponting told reporters ahead of Wednesday`s match at the Oval.
"It`s a bit of the same old, same old from the first two games, we just didn`t get enough runs again," the star batsman, stumped for just three in four wickets for England off-spinner Graeme Swann, the man-of-the-match, said.
Openers Shane Watson (61) and Tim Paine (44) got Australia off a fine start before the innings fell away and a blunt Ponting added: "Nought for 75 and all out 212 is not good enough - you`re not going to win many games doing that.
"If there`s a positive to be taken out of the first three games, it`s that we`ve stuck to out task pretty well with the ball."
While the bowling attack may be depleted, Australia`s top order, with the exception of wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, is at full strength and Paine, the gloveman`s deputy, was the second top-scorer yesterday.
"We`ve played five games on tour now, so you`d like to think that we`d be making runs on a more consistent basis than we are," Ponting said.
"You`ve got to give England some credit for the way they`ve bowled through the series so far. They`ve executed really well.
"Their spinners today did a terrific job on a wicket that suited the slower bowlers. I thought (Michael) Yardy and Swann were both very good for them. That built pressure on our batters and we got out."
One consolation for Australia was the form of Tait, playing his first one-day international since February last year.
The 27-year-old quit first-class and Test cricket to protect a suspect shoulder injury not helped by his slingshot bowling action and so concentrate on Twenty20, where he is limited to four overs an innings, and plays in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL) for the Rajasthan Royals.
But with only his fourth ball he bowled Craig Kieswetter for nought with a ferocious 85mph yorker that uprooted the opener`s middle stump.
Ponting, sensibly, used Tait in short spells and was so nearly rewarded with a stunning victory.
"That was pretty much how we used him in the (2007) World Cup as well," Ponting recalled.
"A couple of overs with the new ball, bring him back in the middle or bring him back to new batters, because he`s so dangerous for new batters when they first come to the crease.
"He`s only been playing Twenty20 cricket for a long time, so I was mindful of not bowling him in too many overs in one spell."
Ponting added: "Having someone like that, who`s got that firepower and that bit of unpredictability in your team, is always nice to have.
"It tends to lift the rest of the group as well. It`s no fluke that we had a bit more energy in the field.
"I thought that with the exception of a couple of wides, everything else was very, very good. It was a welcome return for Shaun."

Lampard wants to be there till next World Cup
Frank Lampard wants to carry on playing for England despite their 2010 FIFA World Cup exit at the hands of Germany.
Lampard will be 36 by the time of the next World Cup in Brazil and the likes of Steven Gerrard, John Terry and Emile Heskey are already over 30.
But the Chelsea midfielder, denied a goal when his shot had clearly crossed the line, has no intention of quitting international football.
He said: "I want to carry on with England. I think there will be a lot of talking, not just about me.
"It's important players go away and don't listen to it and concentrate on our jobs now.
"The talk is great for the people who are involved in that sort of thing but it doesn't actually make any difference.
"We'll try and carry on, that's what we have to do.
"Only one team wins the World Cup and the rest go home at some stage and don't win it so the talking is by the by.
"We'll have to come back and try and perform."
But when asked if there should be major changes, Lampard said: "You know what, I don't really want to talk about it at the moment.
"We will worry about that when we start again."
Lampard has suffered his fair share of setbacks at international level and admits England's last 16 reversal is on a par with any of them.
He said: "There is bitter disappointment. It's right up there with other disappointments.
"You are at a World Cup and we felt we could have got a bit of momentum after the Slovenia game."

Team India Win's Asia Cup After 15 Years
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hailed victory over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final at Dambulla as an "ideal reflection" of his side's efforts in the tournament.
Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni hailed victory over Sri Lanka in the Asia Cup final at Dambulla as an "ideal reflection" of his side's efforts in the tournament.
India's bowlers capitalised on an impressive batting performance - that saw them post a total of 268 for six - to record an emphatic 81-run win and secure the nation's first Asia Cup trophy in 15 years.
"Its an ideal reflection," Dhoni said. "The guys were putting in a lot of effort, not only in terms of fitness but skills as well and its good that we've won the Asia Cup after a long time. I'm really happy with the performance over here.
"I think we got the start that was needed. The batsmen got the start, but couldn't really convert that into big innings, but still we were happy to get 268."
And their batting was just a prelude to a scintillating show in the field, with the Indian pacemen Praveen Kumar, Ashish Nehra and Zaheer Khan shredding the Sri Lankan top order within the first 16 overs as they eventually fell to 187 all out.
"I know my bowlers very well," Dhoni added. "The fast bowlers really bowled well. I knew if we could get a few early wickets then we could put pressure on the Sri Lankan batting.
"We wanted to get (Tillakaratne) Dilshan out early because even if he stays for two or three overs he can just take 30-40 runs off you, so it was really good that we got him in the first over. The kind of bowling shown by Zaheer and Ashish was one of the best spells I have seen in these conditions."
Despite a disappointing loss in the dead-rubber tie two days ago against Sri Lanka, Dhoni insisted the final was all that mattered to his side.
He said: "It is a big game, and whatever you have done to get to the final, it doesn't make a difference anymore. Because if you don't win that final you're always talked about as the team that did not really do well, so it was an important win for us."
Sri Lankan skipper Kumar Sangakkara admitted the difference lay in kind of openings both sides had to their respective innings.
He said: "The difference was in the first 15 overs, the way we bowled and the way they did, and also the helpful conditions. I think losing four wickets in the top order was not a great way to start."
The Sri Lankan keeper also underlined the lack of aggression during their run chase, saying : "I think 269 was probably a chaseable total. I think a bit more application and being a bit more tight in our batting and having a little more of an attacking mindset would have seen us through."
He added: "The Indian bowlers hit the areas pretty well with some good lines and lengths and they let the ball do the rest. We weren't really up to the mark from the start and unfortunately succumbed."
