Lasith Malinga and Rusty Theron: lethal bowling attack - IPL 4
The Indian Premier League 4 is in full swing and the pacers are providing more attraction with their swing bowling. Quick and early wickets are grabbed and the batsmen look timid facing the sheer fast bowling in the ongoing event.
Lasith Malinga from the Mumbai Indians and Rusty Theron of the Deccan Chargers are making the tournament more exciting with their charismatic bowling. Highlights of both players are as follows:
Lasith Malinga was born on August 28, 1983 at Galle, Sri Lanka. He is a right-arm fast bowler and right-hand batsman.
He has played for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kent-c802 and Mumbai Indians.
Malinga is a furious fast bowler in present day cricket who has the ability to deliver six yorkers in an over. He created a reputation as a deadly bowler in domestic cricket circles which put him in the lime-light and the selectors instantly picked him for
the National sides’ visit to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in 2004.
He is the genuine fast bowler with the round arm action and his accuracy restricts even the best batsmen from scoring. Majority of his victims are leg before wickets or hitting the three pieces of wood and is also known to be a toe breaker.
Malinga is capable of delivering the new and used ball equally well with positive results and mixes slow deliveries to surprise the batsmen.
He reached the peak of fame in the ICC World Cup 2007 when he thrashed four South African batsmen on four consecutive deliveries. He achieved another feat in the ICC World Cup 2011 by claiming a hat-trick against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/March-c74391 1, 2011.
Malinga made his debut in T20 cricket when he represented Nondescripts Cricket Club against Tamil Union Cricket and Athletic Club on August 17, 2004 at Colombo which his club won by 17 runs.
He has played 75 matches and has taken 95 wickets at an excellent average of 19.32 runs per wicket with the best of 5 for 13 runs.
Lasith is a lethal weapon for the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mumbai-c820 Indians and has taken quite a few wickets in the tournament already. His team will require the same intensity from him in the remaining matches of the IPL 4 to take them to the top of the tournament.
Rusty Theron was born on July 24, 1985 at Potchefstroom, South Africa. He is a right-arm medium fast bowler and right-hand batsman.
He has played for South Africa, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Punjab-c833, Eastern Province and the Deccan Chargers.
Theron is an accomplished bowler who bowls at full length with ability to swing the ball both ways and mixes his deliveries with slower balls. He started his bowling when he was at school, promoted for training and grooming and soon appeared in first class
cricket.
He impressed everyone with his accurate and attacking bowling when he earned 60 wickets at an average of 18.26 runs per wicket in his initial first class season. He carried on with some excellent bowling which earned him a place in the National side on October
8, 2010 when he was given the cap in a T20 match against Zimbabwe.
Theron made his debut in T20 playing for the Warriors against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Zimbabwe-c3045 on March 25, 2008 at Port Elizabeth.
He has played 50 matches and taken 58 wickets at an average of 22.06 runs per wicket with the best of 4 for 27 runs.
Theron will have to come out with his outstanding bowling capabilities to assist the Deccan Chargers with the rival batsmen by sending them back to the pavilion with minimum of effort.
