Message: <blockquote data-quote="uvajira" data-source="post: 402883" data-attributes="member: 1900">This unique feat achieved by Lasith Malinga in the recently concluded match between South Africa and Sri Lanka will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most sensational performances by a bowler. One day cricket since the introduction of the power plays is overly focused on the batsmen. We feel this is a step-motherly treatment bestowed on bowlers, who have had to remain in the shadows while the glory and limelight was reserved for the batsmen.Lasith Malinga is a gifted bowler with his unorthodox style and his knack for sensationalizing the game of cricket especially with his wild hairstyles. In cricket there are similar jargons used to describe actions and events such as “Doosra”, “Nelson”, “Jaffer”, “Chinaman” and “Googly” etc. Therefore, the cricket loving public of Sri Lanka would appreciate if this achievement was named after Malinga in honor of his amazing performance and in honor of the contribution to cricket by Sri Lanka in the many spheres of the game.</blockquote>
