EXCLUSIVE: Sri Lankan players feared Murali’s career was over after he was called for throwing – Wide World of Sports
How it backfired horribly on Australia
Former Sri Lankan captain Aravinda de Silva says he feared Muttiah Muralitharan’s career was over, after the spinner was no-balled for throwing during a Test at the MCG.
This week marks 25 years since umpire Darrell Hair called Muralitharan for throwing during the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne in 1995.
It sparked a furore that threatened to engulf the rest of that summer, with simmering tensions between the two sides continuing all the way through until the World Cup final in March.
