Team management writes to the Cricket Board on `Murali`s` affair

Sri Lanka cricket team management in Australia will write to  the
Board  of  Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka in Colombo asking the
local controlling board on what  action  they should  follow   on
controversial off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. Team sources said
that they will consult the Board ex-co before taking a final  de-
cision   on  the  future  of their  ace wicket Test taker who was
called twice for  throwing by  the  Australian  umpires  on   the
current  tour. Sri Lanka coach Dave Whatmore televised the bowler
from the boundary during their match in Brisbane  on  Friday,  to
analyse the spinner`s action.
