or search for Malinga in You tube. Very short guy, extremely quick. Can be quite an handful. Usually bowls in the 140ks and can ramp up to 154 or 155k with a slinging action. . Can reverse swing the ball and can bowl yorkers at will. Check out the vettori dismissal in one of the you tube videos.
Good thing is that he can be erratic and bowls loose balls
Sri Lanka has a good mix of bowlers (Fast - Malinga and Fernando, Swing/seam - Vaas
and Maharoof, spin - murali and jaya). Maharoof is good with the bat. More than anything their fielding is brilliant. Nicely balanced team and only suspect against genuine pace bowling. Our best chance is to bowl first at them using hte morning moisture, get quick wickets and bowl them to below 200.
