World Cup Hattrick – 4 Wickets in 4 Balls! (Cricket)
By media.desi on Mar 29, 2007 in Cricket
Lasith Malinga became the first bowler in ODI history to take four wickets in four balls. But, despite his efforts, South Africa won by a wicket in Guyana
“An extraordinary spell of fast bowling from Lasith Malinga, where he strung together a devastating sequence of four wickets in four balls, threatened to produce the greatest one-day heist before South Africa scrambled to a dramatic one-wicket victory in a heart-stopping Super Eights clash in Guyana.” — CricInfo

Dear all. It is so funny to see you guys criticizing a man who will remembered for longer than u guys will be alive. I understand there must be a pain after the loss of india to SriLanka, but that doesn’t necessarily mean tha u have to ignore a talent and make such absurd comments. He took four freaking wickets out in a row, and a few sad souuls behind their lil pcs think he is aan awful bowler? gimme a break guys. by the way i am neither indian, nor from Srilanka.
Chill Guys, always accept the truth. it won’t be that much hurtful then.

alessandro, u need not declare u r not from India. your comments make it obvious how little u know abt indians. Let me tell u, had it been someone like Vaas or Wasim Akram there would be much more admiring comments here from we Indians. But these chucker like Murlidharan or Malinga are really curse to cricket, and any person who knows lil cricket will put comments like above. My friend, chucking or throwing need not have any talent. AWs as u correctly mentioned, unfortunately his record will go in record book bypassing great bowlers like Akram

What a peeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect chuking (So called bowling).
All those who accepts this as bowling, including that of ICC, then I can only say that they don’t know what’s cricket.
It’s been on for a while. Let me jot down the famous chukers I know.
1) Shoib Aktar
2) Muralitharan
3) Harbhajan
4) Malinga
I need not necessarily agree even if all agree that this is bowling by Malinga. Because this is the truth, truth that he is a chucker.
There is no middle path between bowling and chucking. It should either be bowling or chucking. Certainly this is not bowling, so that leaves us with only chucking.
I’m for sure, by the time world cup ends, people realise this is perfect chucking.
So, folks, don’t have any second thoughts, don’t either call it the worst bowling, call him the perrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect chuker.
Malinga is a chucker, this is the truth.
Malinga is a bad (or good) bowler is only a perception.

Bowling action is not acceptable, are rules and regulations changed. Action is the Primary Stage for the Bowler.

Indians are full of jealousy!! no wonder thats why they are out of the world cup!!! Always learn to admire good talents be it in your side or the other side. Thats what is called good sportsmanship!!! Then only you stupid indians can think of coming up. Until Then you Indians are cursed to be cutting each others throat( Including that of an Indian!)

Suresh,
U have a fucked up mentality. This discussion has nothing to do with nationality. I think you cannnot hear truth about Malinga because he’s also from Srilanka. But beware that doesn’t make you a patriot,, it will only show your stupidness, and if you say that malinga is fine bowler…i think u r watching cricket for the first time. There is no doubt that Malinga has no future in Cricket. I am not saying this because he is Srilankan. I have a Srilankan friend and he also agrees that Malingta is a chucker.
Sooo…..keep in Mind,,, whatever u r …. everybody appreciates talent irrespective of where he is from. Sachin is appreciated in Pakistan, Wasim and Vass in India. So if u have even a slightest brain, try to contemplate on what people say and not from where the people are.

Hey guys.its a old thread but ..thought of leaving a comment here. for all the comments above..its talent..if u have talent show like malinga..world cup is ended..and sri lanka became runners up with the contribution of malinga..and ICC had no offence at all over him..and guess what he is now playing for kent…ha ha..

u all whoever put bad comments on him regret what u have mentioned.
keep blaming he will go on top..watch he is moving up in ICCC ranking..lol
