International cricket chiefs insisted on Saturday they had "full confidence" in their umpires after a former official reiterated his doubts about Muttiah Muralitharan's unorthodox bowling.
Former Australian Test umpire Darrell Hair called Sri Lanka's Muralitharan, the leading wicket-taker in Tests and ODIs, for throwing in 1995. "A couple of current umpires have said to me, 'something is wrong', but they prefer to let it go," Hair told Melbourne's Herald-Sun newspaper. But ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat backed the international team of officials. "I've got full confidence in the elite panel of umpires."
