Muralitharan's bowling action first sparked controversy when he was no-balled for throwing by umpire Darrell Hair {AUSSIE!, AUSSIE!, AUSSIE!, OI! OI! OI!) during the Boxing Day Test match against Australia at Melbourne in December 1995.
He was called for throwing later in the tour during a one-day match and again during Sri Lanka's next tour of Australia in 1998 by umpire Ross Emerson {AUSSIE!, AUSSIE!, AUSSIE!, OI! OI! OI!) in Adelaide.
The last incident led to Sri Lankan skipper Arjuna Ranatunga taking his side from the field in protest.
Pot meet kettle!
