5 cricketers who could have taken part in Olympic events

#2 Lasith Malinga – Javelin

Lasith Malinga’s sling motion would be great for the javelin

One of the most flamboyant cricketers of Sri Lanka, Lasith Malinga could have easily secured a medal for his country in the javelin competition at the Olympics. ‘Slinga Malinga’ can easily be imagined with a javelin instead of the cricket ball with his unusual strong arm slinging action which just cannot fail.

The bleached hair, eyebrow pierced, tattooed javelin athlete would have made some news. Maybe, he would have been one of the stars of the Olympics along with Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, also, one of the most talked about athletes.

“Lasith Malinga, showed off his flawless talent in Javelin, which very much looked like as easy as pie for the player, winning the Gold for Sri Lanka.”
