Malinga's unique action and the ability to bowl consistent yorkers makes him one of the most dangerous ODI bowlers in the world.

Malinga took four wickets in four balls against South Africa in the 2007 World Cup. The Proteas, who were cruising along at one stage, somehow servived the pacer's blitz to win by one wicket.
