doesn't matter it was in rule or not, but this is like no sportsmanship at all, means he was afraid that batsman might hit six and make match in tie position. look at the crowd cheering up this incident, how pathetic & ridiculous.

Me neither, but I've gathered enough to know that in Cricket, you cannot bowl underarm. At the time of this game, nobody did it because it was poor sportsmanship, but there was no rule stating you couldn't. This guy bowled it underarm so the NZ player couldn't hit it right, which would've resulted in them winning if it wasn't bowled underarm. I guess a rule was added afterwards stating you couldn't play like that. Correct me if I'm wrong, anyone.

@makie4434 I wouldn't really expect much more from them.

@TSteRify There was no rule saying you couldn't bowl underarm at the time as no one thought anyone would do it. A rule against underarm bowling was added after this incident.

@TSteRify No it isn't allowed, it's poor sportsmanship, not even letting the batsman attempt to hit a six and just wanting to win the game. Quite terrible, actually.
-
I don't get it? An underarm is allowed?
-
its bizarre how NZ play such good, clean cricket while just a couple hundred miles away their next door neighbours are such bad sportsmen
-
I'm Australian and I'm so embarrassed by this incident.
-
I don't understand cricket so can somebody please tell me why this is so bad?
-
@mizofan haha you are right in a way. Throw in Colin Meads fucking up that poor bastard in the ruck and Richard Loe breaking Paul Carozza's nose, we Kiwis are just as one-eyed as any Australian.
Lest we forget. Rob Muldoon- then NZ Prime Minister- said the next day how appropriate it was that Australia wear yellow- the colour of chickens. Bastards.
