Underarm Cricket Ball

Back


An infamous "underarm bowling" incident occurred during a One-day International match between the Australia and New Zealand teams in 1981, in which the bowler (Trevor Chappell) took advantage of the fact that underarm bowling was still legal by rolling the ball along the ground. By doing so he avoided the (unlikely) possibility that the No. 10 New Zealand batsman (Brian McKechnie) would score a six from the last ball to tie the match. As a result of this incident underarm bowling was subsequently made illegal in all grades of cricket, except by prior agreement of both teams, as it was not considered to be within the spirit of the game.
