He is not there to be economical.

Any bowler has to be in the one-day game.

To a point yes, but he came a whisker away from winning his team the game. Surely that is more important than being economical?

All good ODI teams need one strike bowler, someone who may go for a few runs but will pick up wickets.

He is also someone who the comentators can shout for when he takes a wicket like in the footie matches in brazil and stuff

" Malinga comes in...yellow tinted hair bobbing in the sunshine...bowls... and he has got him, clean bowled MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAA"

The day his captain realises he cant bowl very well in the first half of the innings is the day SI become world no 1s. Malinga is a Jeckell and Hyde character - atrociously expensive with the new ball and devestating with the older ball.
Let him bowl his 10 overs in the second half of the innings and Malinga will take jsut as many wickets for half the runs
