Lasith Malinga Action
« on: May 02, 2007, 09:34:44 PM »
What do you think about bowling action of Lasith Malinga (The SL player)? It is very unique and could create trouble even for an experienced batsman. He is the first bowler to get 4 wickets on 4 balls in cricket history. What do you guys think about him and his action?

Its a bit unorthodox but certainly effective.

Yes you are right.His action is certainly unique and is very effective.But he should be more proper in his line and length.

Hi,
I think that Lasith Malinga's action is really unique and causes great problem to batesman. His unique action accompanied with fast speed make him a lethal bowler

The awkward movement he makes may distract a batsman and thats why he can be very very dangerous ..there are many bowlers with unorthodox actions and he is one of them!!

There are many bowlers in world cricket which have unique kind of action..they may look dangerous  at initial stages but once they play few matches then the danger due to action is abolished as teams use visual aids like videos etc to monitor the action.

Lasith Malinga has been an unorthodox bowler and has been quite disturbing for the experienced players as well. He has got a slinging bowling action which is quite irritating for the batsman. His round arm bowling action is quite unique and his ability to bowl quick bowls unsettles the youngsters. He has an excellent ability to bowl yorkers at the death.
