Greg Chappell Recalls Controversial ‘underarm’ ODI Against NZ, Says: It’s Not One Of His Better Moments
Chappell explained, "It’s not one of the better moments I get to reflect on… the difficult part probably for people to understand is it had very little to do with what was going on on the field on that day," Chappell told SEN 1170 Breakfast.
He expressed discontent with the MCG's playing conditions and ongoing discussions about improving facilities, highlighting the challenges faced by Cricket Australia in advocating for better standards. Amidst this backdrop, in 1981 New Zealand needing a six to tie on the final ball, Chappell ordered his younger brother Trevor to bowl underarm, ensuring a win for Australia. While the move wasn't illegal, it went against the spirit of the game, leading to the subsequent outlawing of underarm bowling.
