Separamadu Lasith Malinga (born August 28, 1983 in Galle) is a Sri Lankan cricketer. He bowls at a fast-medium pace with a slinging action, releasing the cricket ball low. This distinctive action has earned him the nickname 'Slinga Malinga'. He took six wickets in his Test debut against world champions Australia in 2004. He has constantly troubled batsman with his lively pace and well directed bouncers during his maiden tour of Australia along with his unique bowling action that many batsmen struggle to adapt to.
