MOST FAMOUS DELIVERY in CRICKET

So many times we hear about that UNDERARM DELIVERY bowled in the history of Gentlemen’s game. One can easily recall the underarm ball bowled by Trevor Chappell for Australia against New Zealand at the famous Melbourne Cricket Ground on 1st February 1981. Today I just recollect my memory as I was digging some pages from my history book and 21 October is the birthday of Trevor Chappell.
Trevor was also fine batsman like his elder brothers Ian and Greg and he was also a part time bowler. He had bowled 736 deliveries in ODI and only one of those was underarm but the cricket world remembers only this one.
I was following that series and still remember because India were the 3rd team in Benson and Hedges cup (though could not make to the final). So the host Australia and New Zealand played the series of 5 finals and that was the third final.
New Zealand needed 6 runs off the last ball and the bowler was Trevor. The Australian captain Greg Chappell went to the bowler, Trevor-who also happened to be his brother, and asked him to bowl an under-arm delivery so that there is absolutely no chance for the No. 10 kiwi batsman Brian McKechine to hit a six.
The ball went all along the ground - from the bowling end to the striking end and Brain Mckechine just played it before throwing his bat and moved out of the ground. Not only the batsman but surprisingly the wicketkeeper Rodney Marsh, the Australian, looked very disappointed with his captain’s decision.
