- Been working on this for a little while to post on the 40th anniversary of the underarm bowling incident. But I have posted it two days earlier than the anniversary. Oops. This is a very important event in New Zealand history and the history of cricket as a whole.

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. NewZealnd we’re sure to lose the match. But they should have been giving a chance to try.
“The greatest act of sportsmanship that I have been on the receiving end of”. Chappell is suffering from severe irony impairment.
Damn, I've never seen that tv spot at the end of the video. That's hilarious!
It makes me want to go out and buy an Instant kiwi
Great video...good quality
Came from Reddit. Very informative video mate 💜
Hi from reddit. No idea that this was a thing
Australia would probably have won the game if the ball had been bowled in the normal way, overarm, the NZ batsman likely would not have got a 6 to tie the game. But what mattered more was that he was not given the chance to hit a 6, no matter how small that chance was.
What made things even worse that during the Australian innings Chappel was clearly caught and the umpire, for some reason, looking at the Australian batsman and not at the New Zealand fielders and seeing where the ball was going, clearly did not do his job properly. Had he done so New Zealand would have won the match. Even 41 years later, this game still causes anger in New Zealand and quite rightly so.
It could be that Chappell was frightened of a no ball being bowled.
Underarm was the official way to bowl.
I wonder why they were going overarm for the entire game until that bowl then 🤔
@@TuiPolitics convention ,tactics
Nice vid (P.S.: it's runs, not points :) )
High quality vid 👍
I would have done the same it is about winning and denying those Kiwis a win
And if it had happened against you, you’d have still been whining about it.
It was a little underhanded 😢😢
I was at the Eden Park game. It was massive.
Very jealous of this lol
Anyone ever find out why it wasn’t called a ‘no-ball’? No surprise, I guess- Australian Cricket has long had a Chip Factory on both shoulders.
10.21 - 108 points?
Lol meant runs. I'm not that big of a cricket fan tbh. Was mainly interested in the history of the event
👍😂… and this from someone from a cricketing nation, too!
Why can look at body line cricket where England bowl at Aussie body all five test to win
I don't think Bruce Edgar got out at game. I'm pretty sure he was at the non-striker's end when the underarm ball was delivered.
He was...and carried his bat...102* I was disgusted and disappointed no end! How we could do that to our brothers across the ditch will remain a stain on our game forever...much like Sandpapergate! I was so angry!
Not to be a Karen but you aren’t fallen if you truce and sign a treaty. We fought the British here in NZ
It was not cheating because in the rule book saying their can blow under arm per over
Why didn't they roll it on the ground for every bowl then? They knew it was a garbage thing to do, even though it was technically legal
Aussies had good record in the books of cheating. When de can't win ds use der weapon called cheating. Aussies r best cheaters in the world.
why give the other team a chance to tie it up? Australia was playing to win; no?
Because it went against all sporting convention and was a pretty scummy thing to do.
But it wasn't against the rules, so that's why they got away with it
When even your fans are booing you, your team is ashamed, the prime minister of your country is embarrassed and calls it "contrary to the traditions of the game" and the international cricket council outright ban the underarm bowl altogether, you know what you did was poor sportsmanship
@@Elowuz This is utterly mind-boggling to me. It highlights the acceptable norms in sport between what this video shows and what someone like me would be used to. Athletes in the US are expected to do whatever it takes - so long as it's legal; in fact, a player _not_ willing to do whatever it takes to win would be seen as the poor sport. Really, this is analogous to an Intentional Walk in Baseball. Yeah, it's dumb, nobody likes it, the fans boo but it's not illegal and everybody expects the teams to try and win at all costs. We would just put the blame on the umpire, not the player. The difference is fascinating, sport in America developed largely without that sort of "chivalrous" expectation. I think it's owed to the development of our sports from the more working classes where the spirit of competition is treated with less pretension, or at least not taken so personal. Maybe it also has to do with our insular nature I don't know. I find this to be a major overreaction, to be honest.
Mind boggling to who? , someone who wins in the most embarrassing and shit way, enjoy
