Lasith Malinga, one of the forefathers of death bowling, basically developed the slow yorker—a type of foolish, mazy ball that arrives later than expected and puts batters on the floor. Before the ball smashes the bails off, most batters have already finished their shot. He first used it in a match against Andy Halliday in 1998. It took over 10 years for this ball to finally reach print; The New York Times published an article about it in 2008. The NYT also published an article about another famous slow yorker user, Lasith Malinga. You may know him as "LMU". In addition to being a fast bowler, LMU is known for his bizarre actions while running between the wickets. He usually dances around a bit before throwing the ball, which makes his bowling even more mysterious and unpredictable. He started using the ball when he was just 17 years old. Previously, he had been practicing with a standard ball but now has become one of the best bowlers in the world using this method. As you can see, the Yorker is very different from a normal ball because it doesn't move as fast or swing as much. This means that it takes longer to get into good bowling positions and allows Malinga to plan his attack more carefully.
