Bowling exceptionally well for someone who has been out for that long and also bowling with speed too!

33 years old and bowling like a younger bowler. Well done to him and to SL selectors for bringing him back
 
He looked really unfit and mediocre in the IPL. Will be interesting to see how he gets on in his 2nd and 3rd spells today.
 
1st spell was alright if SA has wickets left in the death overs malinga would get a phainta..
 
Fantastic spell from Malinga, bowled exceptionally well at the death; there's still a lot of fight in the old warrior !
 
27 dot balls in Malinga's entire spell !!! that's incredible in this era and that too against a power SA batting line up
 
Just looking at stats alone does not tell enough, just watching him bowl, he looks shot and is a far cry from the bowler that he once was. Other Sri lankan bowlers looked more capable of taking wickets. Sri Lanka need to move on from him, if he is ineffective now then how will he be effective in the 2019 WC?
 
Obviously over the hill and struggling with fitness and injuries but the sad thing is that he's still the best we've got and quite comfortably too. Test bowling post Herath and LOI bowling post Malinga will be scary times :uak

Who is right? Did he bowl well or not?
