Trevor Chappell's claim to fame, The Underarm bowling incident of 1981 (New Zealand Vs Australia Tri-nation series Finals)

article image placeholderTrevor Chappell bowling the underarm delivery.
When New Zealand needed six runs to tie the match from the final ball, Greg instructed his brother to bowl underarm in a bid to prevent the number ten new Zealand best friend, Brian McKechnie, from getting under the delivery with sufficient power and elevation to hit a six. Bowling underarm was within the laws of cricket at the time, but it was completely against the integrity and spirit of the game to use such cheap tactics to win a game, the ball finally ended up being rolled along the pitch

Relive one of the most unsportsmanlike and disgraceful incident in the World of Cricket. Tune in for the coverage of Trevor Chappell's underarm antics
