O<\/span><\/p><\/div>

\nf all the sights in cricket, few rival the riveting spectacle of a fast bowler in full flow. The best of them move with a predatory grace, a sharp sprint followed by a final pounce that delivers the killing blow, almost like a big cat on the hunt. There\u2019s a smooth quality to the way they operate that makes you want to emulate them. I remember my school <\/span>cricket<\/span><\/a> coach telling me to observe Brett Lee\u2019s action and try and incorporate that fluidity into my own bowling. A breezy run-up ending in a clean leap, the ball leaving the hand when the arm was straight upright, with the head always pointed at the stumps; that\u2019s how I always believed fast bowlers should bowl. And then I saw Lasith Malinga.<\/span>\n\nIf the Aussie Brett Lee\u2019s action evoked a cheetah hunting on the savannah, Sri Lankan Malinga\u2019s was more like a bull in a china shop. Here was a bowler who didn\u2019t so much run to the crease as charge at it. When delivering the ball, the standard leap is replaced by him cocking his arm back, almost as if in preparation to throw a punch. And that final delivery. Until I saw Malinga bowl, I\u2019d never seen anything like it. Most fast bowlers release the ball from overhead, putting their backs and shoulders into generating pace. But Malinga\u2019s arm whips around like a slingshot, not perpendicular but nearly parallel to his shoulder, sending the ball on a much lower trajectory but generating serious pace. It\u2019s not pretty, and when I first saw it, I hated it. \u201cSlinga Malinga\u201d was the antithesis of everything I thought a fast bowler should be. But my opinions are immaterial, because in a career spanning 15 years, Malinga rose to the top of international cricket\u2019s order and broke the mould of <\/span>fast bowling<\/span><\/a> forever.<\/span>\n\n\"malinga\"\n\n

LINDSEY PARNABY\/AFP\/Getty Images<\/p>\n<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\nToday, Sri Lanka begin a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh. The first match is of unique importance because it will be Malinga\u2019s retirement game. He stepped away from <\/span>Test cricket<\/span><\/a>, the longest format, in 2011 in order to prolong his ODI and T20 careers. Though he still remains available for selection in T20, the fact that he is calling time on his ODI career indicates that he is about to start winding down his time as an active player. In this year\u2019s edition of the IPL, he fulfilled double duty as Mumbai Indians\u2019 strike bowler as well as the team\u2019s bowling coach. These are signs that he is about to put his arm-slinging days behind him, and when he does, he will do so leaving behind an undeniable legacy.<\/span>\n\nMalinga\u2019s legacy isn\u2019t one that you measure in records or statistics, though he doesn\u2019t have any shortage of those. Let\u2019s just quickly get those out of the way, shall we? No one except for Malinga has taken four wickets in four consecutive balls. We have the term hat-trick, but what he accomplished against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup exceeds even the bounds of cricket\u2019s expansive lexicon. After Sri Lankan legends Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan, Malinga is the nation\u2019s third-highest wicket-taker in the ODI format, and the highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in T20 internationals. In the IPL, playing in <\/span>Mumbai Indians<\/span><\/a> colours since 2009, Malinga holds the record for most wickets by a bowler with 170. But the impressive credentials on his resum\u00e9 do not define Malinga. What he will be remembered for is redefining what a fast bowler could be in an era where cricket itself was undergoing tectonic changes.<\/span>\n\n

After Sri Lankan legends Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan, Malinga is the nation\u2019s third-highest wicket-taker in the ODI format, and the highest wicket-taker for Sri Lanka in T20 internationals.<\/p><\/blockquote> \n\nWhen Malinga first appeared on the international stage in 2004, T20 cricket was not yet a widely played format. Today, it is the biggest money-spinner in the sport. In the years since Malinga\u2019s debut, technique and style have given way to unorthodoxy and innovation, and audience\u2019s appetites have grown more eclectic while their attention spans have grown shorter. Cometh the hour, cometh the man. Malinga was the perfect <\/span>bowler<\/span><\/a> for the changing landscape, and his rank of second-highest wicket-taker of all time in the T20 format is testament to that. He might have been a nightmare for purists, but the sheer spectacle that was his playing style perfectly fit the new, more exciting form of the game.<\/span>\n\nMy reservations around Malinga finally melted away once he became a Mumbai Indians regular. It was in that league where he perfected the art of containing batsmen even in a format that heavily favoured them. Staples of modern limited-overs bowling, such as consistent yorkers at the death of an innings, were techniques Malinga pioneered. <\/span>Jasprit Bumrah<\/span><\/a>, presently the top-ranked bowler in the world and India\u2019s pace spearhead, is feared for his ability to deliver yorkers at will, as well as for his unconventional, inscrutable bowling action. These are qualities that defined Malinga throughout his career, and it\u2019s hardly a coincidence that Bumrah also cut his teeth as part of the MI bowling attack led by Slinga Malinga.<\/span>\n\n\"malinga\"\n\n

After Malinga, it seems like there is more room for a diverse array of actions. Bumrah is one example, Pakistan\u2019s Sohail Tanvir is another, and so are the many other owners of oddball actions whom we see cropping up in the IPL, like the little-remembered Shivil Kaushik. No matter how offensive it might seem to aesthetes, Malinga\u2019s success has paved the way for fresh innovation in the art of bowling in a manner similar to how West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul and his crab-like stance rewrote the rules of effective Test batting through the \u201990s and early noughties.<\/span>\n\nLasith Malinga might soon be done with cricket, but cricket will not be done with him. Forever the oddball, his influence will be felt by future players as they follow in his footsteps of finding brilliance via the unlikeliest routes. And for that, all his crimes against my notions of fast bowling technique are forgiven.<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
