But despite a seemingly a fraught action, his has been deemed legal as he doesn't bend his arm while bowling. But there are some who challenges Malinga's action, even comparing it to a baseball pitch throw.

And after the Afghanistan match, particularly after that yorker, fans once again started talking about it. Lasith Malinga at his best! Thisara Perera features in the other two! Which is your favourite? Still love watching Malinga bowl. Malinga has celeberated the dismisal of last wicket like they have won the world cup, hats off to BlueTigers for putting an experienced side under such a pressure.

A very cheap action from a professional player. How Malinga gets away with "bowling" action astounds me. Take that last wicket, it is clearly being chuck from his side, therefore, NOT an overarm delivery. Should never have been allowed. Lasith Malinga, im sorry, that action aint legal, never has been never will be.

Foster is well qualified to judge. While consulting with the Sri Lanka team seven years ago the Australian human-movement specialist first saw Malinga bowling on the streets and beaches of Galle. It was the same with Malinga. You're startled, but then when you calm down and look at the technical points of his action, like the position of his feet, it is quite sound. Foster and Elliott believe that Malinga's loose joints and tendons, not an over-extending elbow, are the contributing factors to his action, one in which his right arm follows through in an almost horizontal position.

It works, too, and Malinga is the top wicket-taker at the World Cup 13 from five matches going in to today's Super Eight clash with England. It's more side arm.
