Explanation

The 1981 underarm delivery incident occurred when Trevor Chappell bowled an underarm delivery to Brian McKechnie to prevent New Zealand from scoring the 6 runs needed to tie the match. This controversial tactic was legal at the time but was widely criticized as unsportsmanlike and led to a rule change banning underarm bowling in limited-overs cricket.
