5 IPL cricketers and their hilarious names in EA Cricket 07

EA Cricket 07 is still widely played by cricket fans 

#5 L. Malango (Lasith Malinga)

ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA - FEBRUARY 22:  Lasith Malinga and Chamara Kapugedera of Sri Lanka celebrate after Kapugedera took a catch to get the wicket of Travis Head of Australia during the International Twenty20 match between Australia and Sri Lanka at Adelaide Oval on February 22, 2017 in Adelaide, Australia.

Lasith Malinga is the favoured strike bowler for club and country

The Sri Lankan slinger is the only cricketer on the list who has been given a name that is remotely close to his real name. In this case, while EA might have got the name spot on, they messed up his bowling attributes.

Malinga during his time with the Mumbai Indians and the Sri Lankan side became famous for his unplayable, toe-crushing yorkers which he can deliver on demand. In spite of this ability, "Slinga Malinga" has only been given an accuracy rating of 60 and has no special skills to speak of, something which is pretty odd for a player of his calibre.
