Lasith Malinga

[laughs]

So they had, uh, I think Chris Martin, Shaun Tait, Shane Bond, and Lasith Malinga.

Mm.

They all used Arrows.

Ah, phenomenal innings the other day.

Actually played, I mean, a wonderful cameo today after a brilliant catch, uh, by Malinga on the boundary.

Uh, h- he is such a beguiling cricketer to watch, isn't he? I, I know that he's, you know, he's had his problems in, in terms of people's ex- almost expect too much.

You know, every time you, you watch him play, you know, he, he looks so good.

MS Dhoni should be in there.

Malinga and Miralithram should be in there.

You know, why haven't you mentioned these players? And why haven't you mentioned these types of players and it's like there are far too many players that have hit fantastic milestones for whatever reason and have been the greatest for their country or one of the greatest for their country that you can't fit them all into an 11

yeah i had this when i did a i did like a an all-time 11 with the caveat of like of my lifetime so i was basically like I pretty much remember cricket like 2002.

He's had a lot of people influence him through his career.

He's at the Central West level at the moment, so he's playing 15 Central West this year, trying to sort of stamp his foot into that sidearm action that everyone was sort of quite surprised You know, he can keep coming in bowing like a Sean Tate or a Malinga kind of flinging action.

But, yeah, mate, he's obviously growing up.

He's really tall now.

So what a day.

I remember when Lasith Malinga was firing down the walls.

He had a bit of a...

Interesting throw.

But that 2007, 2014 generation was probably our greatest collection of players.

You know, you had the tail end of Vaas, the tail end of Sanath, Murali being pretty strong still through that career, Malinga, Nuan Pulasekar, Herath, you know, all these players.

So, how did we go from there to what we have now? Essentially, like, there was a long, long, long deterioration of domestic cricket.

So, what happens in Sri Lanka is our school's cricket system is pretty strong.

I mean, I think Kulasekara in terms of Limbado's cricket, very, very underrated.

But he had a great partnership with Lasith Malinga and they kind of made each other better So aside from Kulesekara, I mean, I'm assuming that you counted out Ranganaharata as a great, and I can't think of it.

Yeah, Ranganaharata is a wonderful idea.

Okay,
