Trevor Chappell Bowls Underarm: Most Disgraceful Moment in the History of Cricket 01/02/1981


A controversial incident occurred in the final of the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup at the MCG in 1981 when Australian bowler Trevor Chappell rolled the final ball along the ground to avoid the possibility of it being hit for the six runs that New Zealand needed to tie the match.

The series was tied 1-1, with New Zealand having won the first match, and Australia the second. At the end of the third match, the batsman at the non-striker's end, Bruce Edgar, was on 102 not out, and his innings has been called "the most overlooked century of all time" Wikipedia
