Underhand
20 April 2004. Inspired by .
Jon's musings on cricket, coupled with the recent Test series and my own return to the field in whites (3-0-14-1; 9 runs, 1x4 0x6) brought to mind a query I had in the back of my head that was answered, as such things are, by google (though Bearders was my next stop):
Discounting 'this morning on the beach', when was the last underarm delivery bowled?
The answer is by Trevor Chappell, last ball of the match to prevent a NZ victory, in 1981. There's an article about it here. The delivery was subsequently outlawed.
Well, it might be useful for a pub quiz one day.
