    The reason that there was no law forbidding an underarm delivery along the ground, is the same reason that there's no law forbidding the inclusion of a Chimpanzee in the playing IX - they didn't think anybody would be crazy enough to try it! Cool video, by the way.

      @neilpemberton5523 Год назад

      @FrankEggleton Richie Benaud, in probably the low point of his glittering career as a commentator, carried out a character assassination of Greg Chappell in his post-match summary. Benaud alleged Greg miscalculated the final overs and was forced to bowl Trevor instead of Dennis Lillee for the 50th over. But Greg actually always intended to bowl Trevor, due to the conditions. For example, an edge off Dennis with no slips would go for four, while off Trevor it would be cut off.
