Instant Kiwi Attitude - Funny Cricket Incident

Instant Kiwi Attitude - Funny Cricket Incident


The infamous underarm bowling incident with an alternate ending. This was 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. This is the alternate ending and ashame that Brian McKechnie didn't think of this option until after the real game.
