Muttiah Muralitharan

Muttiah Muralitharan (born April 17, 1972 in Kandy, Sri Lanka), often referred to simply as Murali, is a Sri Lankan cricketer who is generally regarded as one of the greatest bowlers in cricket history. His unique bowling action coupled with his ability to amass wickets has made him one of the most famous cricketers of modern times. He currently lies second in the list of all time wicket takers in both Test cricket and One-Day International cricket. He has signed as an overseas player for Lancashire in 2007.

However, Muralitharan's career has not been without controversy, with the legality of his bowling action being called into question, although he has been cleared by a number of scientific studies.

    Today is the 10-year anniversary of the notorious ODI in Adelaide where Emerson no-balled Murali, Ranatunga walked off the field and then Jayawardene made his first ODI century after Emerson gave him not out without calling for the video replay when he was run out!

    Emerson was a rubbish umpire but I think he inadvertently gave Jayawardene's career a jump-start

    At least his umpiring career achieved something then

    A look back http://monkeyatthecricket.blogspot.com/2009/01/rewind-1999-birth-of-jayawardene.html
