 "Underarm"

My dad was at the game, and he swears that he called it when he saw Greg Chappell talking to Rod Marsh behind the stumps and Rod shaking his head. But Greg being captain had the last say and forced little brother Trevor, (the worst of the Chappells ) to bowl the ball.

I read the article and it sounds like it was totally legal play, e.g. they weren't cheating, they just broke Unwritten Rules about the Spirit Of the Game. Yuck.

Cricket is a gentlemans game and they were being ungentlemanly.

Bad show old chap and all that.
