It surprised quite a few that Lasith Malinga made it to the side for Sri Lanka's tour to Australia in 2004, though he had a fearful repute in first class cricket. Malinga bowls with a unique and explosive round-arm action which generates solid speed and can trouble batsmen who struggle to pick up the ball's path. As a result of his action, he has earned the nick name 'Slinga Malinga'. He has earned the reputation of being the fastest Sri Lankan bowler. He took the world by storm by taking 6 for 90 against a Northern Territory Chief Minister's XI. That was his passport to the Test team, and he had a glorious debut by dismissing Darren Lehmann and Adam Gilchrist in the same over. He remains quite unpredictable and even though bowls some no-balls, is a genuine strike bowler, with both new ball and old, and one has the blatant pace to trouble even the best batsmen on his day.
