In ODIs, what distinctive act is Greg known for?

  • Underarm Bowling

  • Switch Hit

  • Fast Scoring

Answer

Greg Chappell's underarm bowling incident occurred during a One Day International (ODI) match between Australia and New Zealand in 1981. With New Zealand needing six runs to win off the final ball, Chappell, the Australian captain, instructed his bowler, Trevor Chappell, to bowl the ball along the ground instead of overarm, ensuring that the batsman could not score a boundary.
