Ricky Ponting is alarmed by lethal Lasith Malinga
Australia Cricket Team's skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SL-Malinga-c2540 as a real threat for his side’s batting order ahead of their innings. The defending champion Australia is at R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium to face
the rock and roll Sri Lankan http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Lions-c808 that are at the peak of form and fervor. This is going to be Australia’s most fierce encounter of the tournament.
Malinga seems to be on fire now-a-days as his fiery deliveries are playing havoc in the field. All the batsmen are fearful of facing him. Ponting said, “Malinga had a great game the other day against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Kenya-c752, and he looks like he is in pretty good form. He
was one of the main focuses for us in the team meeting, talking about the right way to go about playing him. His bowling in the middle overs and with the older ball is particularly good”.
Malinga has achieved his second World Cup hat-trick against Keya. He took four wickets in four balls against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 in the 2007 edition of World Cup. This time he is posing to be highly boisterous. His bowling action is unique and some even consider
it out of the way. With his straight right arm, he throw yurker to the wicket.
Despite fears, Ponting hopes that his side will try to keep their head high in face of Malinga’s destructive attack. He says, “We have played a fair bit against Malinga over the years. As a batting group, we would like to think we can put a bit more pressure
on him. If he happens to stray a bit with his length we will pick him off”.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Canada-c748 and
losing one to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 is one of the favorites of this tournament.
The 23-year-old right-arm fast pacer Malinga performed well in the last World Cup and in the preceding years, he had been in great form. His bowling actions had been a matter of controversy but he survived all. He has played 78 ODIs and grabbed 120 wickets.
He is considered to be the world’s fastest bowler of the Sri Lankan history. He has also overtaken Pakistan’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shoaib-Akhtar-c90080, with whom he resembles in action, in speed. Let see how Malinga gives tough time to the confident and daring Australian seamers.
