    Thanks for posting that. It's been a staggering start.



    Kamindu Mendis looks like the real deal even though he won't be able to maintain Bradmanesque stats for too long.

    Emergence of these players is good for Sri Lankan and World Cricket.

    It's been a really great start, but he's played 4 innings at home, 4
    in Bangladesh, averaging over 100 in both, and 5 in England where he
    still did well with 267 runs averaging 53 but it's a long way off
    record breaking there

    So there's still a fair bit to prove
