Muralitharan No-balledSri Lanka almost storm off as Murali "chucking" row boils overADELAIDE, Australia, Jan 23 (AFP) - The Muttiah Muralitharan "chucking" row boiled over at Adelaide Oval Saturday when play was held up for 12 minutes after the Sri Lankans protested umpire Ross Emerson's no-ball call for throwing in the one-day international against England. Sri Lankan captain Arjuna Ranatunga gestured to his players to walk off to the dressing room after Muralitharan, 26, had been called from square leg by umpire Emerson -- one of three Australian umpires who had no-balled the Sri Lankan for throwing three years ago. Players stopped on the edge of the field as heated discusions took place with Emerson, his co-umpire, Tony McQuillan, and match referee, Peter Van der Merwe, of South Africa. [More]
