MURALITHARAN DOUBTFUL FOR THE 2ND TEST AGAINST AUSTRALIA BECAUSE OF HIS CHUCKING

KANDY, Sri Lanka, March 15 (Reuters) - Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan, poised to follow Shane Warne and become the third bowler to take 500 test wickets, has been laid low on the eve of the second test against Australia with a stomach upset.
Muralitharan sat out nets on Sunday afternoon and then suffered from stomach cramps throughout the night.
After Monday morning's practice session was washed out, Muralitharan returned to his bedside for further rest.


Oh the irony....
