We Have Strategy To Tackle Mendis, Says Malik

Karachi: Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik declared on Saturday that his boys are fully ready for next week's three-match One-day series against Sri Lanka, saying that the team management has prepared a comprehensive strategy to combat the spin duo of Muttiah Muralitharan and Ajantha Mendis.

Ninety percent of the questions Pakistan's coach Intikhab Alam was asked were on Mendis, as a short preparation camp got underway at Karachi's National Stadium a day before Sri Lanka's arrival for a three-match ODI series. The other pretty handy spinner they have, a bloke by the name of Murali, didn't even get a look in.

Pakistan lined up the series against Sri Lanka last month after India cancelled its tour of the country because of strained relations between the two neighbours over November's terror attacks in Mumbai.
