===Second citation and testing=== Doubts about Muralitharan's action persisted, however. On the 1998β99 tour to Australia he was once again called for throwing by Ross Emerson during a One Day International against England at the [[Adelaide Oval]] in Australia. The Sri Lankan team almost abandoned the match, but after instructions from the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka, the game resumed.<ref name="Emerson Calls Murali and Ranatunga takes the team off">{{Cite news |last=Hilal |date=7 May 2007 |title=Ranatunga takes the team off |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PFsMqGfdqs&watch_response | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150606161450/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PFsMqGfdqs&watch_response| archive-date=2015-06-06 | url-status=dead|via=YouTube |access-date=15 March 2008}}</ref> The Sri Lankan captain at the time [[Arjuna Ranatunga]], was later fined and given a suspended ban from the game as a result.<ref>{{Cite news |date=23 April 1999 |title=''e-cyclopedia'': Chucking: Why the fuss? |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/263398.stm |publisher=BBC News |location=London |access-date=1 January 2008 |archive-date=28 December 2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071228150506/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/special_report/1999/02/99/e-cyclopedia/263398.stm |url-status=live }}</ref> It later emerged that at the time of this match Emerson was on sick leave from his non-cricket job due to a stress-related illness and he stood down for the rest of the series.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/256472.html |title=ESPNcricinfo β Officious officialdom |publisher=ESPNcricinfo |access-date=8 August 2014 |archive-date=15 August 2010 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100815084415/http://www.cricinfo.com/columns/content/story/256472.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Muralitharan was sent for further tests in Perth and England and was cleared again.<ref name="Profile ESPNcricinfo" /> At no stage was Muralitharan requested to change or remodel his action, by the ICC. Up to this point in his career (1999) Muralitharan primarily bowled two types of deliveries, namely the [[off-break]] and the [[topspinner]]. He had not yet mastered the doosra.
