Great commentary by Tony Greig and Ian Botham. Murali bowled the first couple of overs with no problems whatsoever, yet Emerson felt he wasn't getting enough attention and made it all about himself. As Beefy said, Emerson thought he knew better than the ICC and some of the greatest players who ever played the game. The fact that he went on to be the highest wicket taker of all time in test matches showed the character of Murali. Emerson shouldn't have been able to umpire another game of cricket after this fiasco.
Murali, so humble yet very cruel to the batsmen. Despite of all that psychological burden, he went to became the highest wicket taker in the history. Greatest cricketer after Bradman imho.
Nothing but victimizing an innocent person.Emerson thought he was a better expert than the ICC expert committee that cleared Muralitharan. Think he was playing 15 seconds of fame instead of officiating as an umpire. Watched this on TV and then rejoiced that Sri Lanka won.Only time rejoiced when it wasn’t India.
A little mentioned fact about this series was that Emerson was taking a leave of absence from his job due to stress. The ICC shouldn't have ever let him officiate, they should've known he wasn't in his right mind.
Anyone knows what happened to umpire Emerson after that game and where is he now? Did he ever talk about this incident later on? I'm quite interested to know on that what is he thinking now in 2024 about that incident which happened 26 years ago?
Terrible umpiring by Emerson especially. The fact that he was being no balled for bowling leg breaks seemed to suggest that he was being unfairly targeted.
Tony Gerig right on the money. We still miss your voice Tony. What a game. What memories.
Thanks million for uploading one of the most significant ODIs in Sri Lankan cricket history...
*You are just going to watch one of the greatest ODI matches ever played !*

Ahhh you're a legend. This is one of the best chases ever. Loved this match!
I miss Richie Benaud, Tony Greig, Bill Lawry etc. on commentary.
Tony Greg said, "Well played today" at the end. It had a different meaning.
