World's Cricket New Spinning Sensation - "Mystery Spinner" - Ajantha Medis Sets a New World Record!


Hi All Cricket Lovers,

As I kept writing on Ajantha Mendis from the debut of his international cricket, it's the best time to write another note on him. The reason is, Ajantha—who's called as "Mystery Spinner delivers Carom Balls," has broken a 62 years old world record established by Sir Alec Bedser, who was an English bowler. Sir Alec Bedser had established his record in 1946.
Ajantha broke the record by taking 25 wickets in his debut test series—Bedser had taken only 24 wickets. Ajantha took the wicket of one of the world's greatest batsmen, Sachin Tendulkar to set this new world record. He finished his debut test series by taking 26 wickets.
Sri Lanka won the test series against India by 2-1—Ajantha was named as the man of the series.

CONGRATULATIONS Ajantha! All Sri Lankans are proud of you.
