This Australian player committed the biggest dishonesty in cricket history, ICC had to change the rules

The Australian cricket team is also remarkable. He likes two boat rides. Australian cricketers also talk a lot about sportsmanship and do not hesitate to foul whenever they get the chance. Some of the biggest scandals in cricket history are recorded only in the name of Australia. Once Australia did such a ‘dishonest’ that after that ICC. had to be changed to the rule, so that no one else could do it. All this dishonesty was done by the famous Chappell Brothers of Australia who gave knowledge to the world. Let’s give an interesting episode of cricket history…

The Australian scandal we are talking about dates back to an ODI match in 1981. Australia scored 235 runs for 4 wickets while batting first in this match. In reply, New Zealand scored 239 runs for 8 wickets in 49.5 overs. New Zealand needed 6 runs off the last ball to tie the match. Australia could not lose the match, yet their bowler Trevor Chappell did something that was considered unsportsmanlike.

Trevor Chappell mocked the spirit of the game at the behest of his brother Greg Chappell, who was also Australia’s captain at the time. Greg Chappell asked his brother Trevor Chappell to bowl the last ball underarm. It was not against the rules but still nobody got it right and that’s why nobody had done it before in an international match. Trevor Chappell bowls the last ball on the underarm. The ball rolled across the pitch and reached batsman Brian McKenney. He stopped it with the bat. Obviously, such a ball could not be sent across the boundary. Brian McKenney did not try to do the same, but after stopping the ball, he threw the bat in anger.

Trevor Chappell’s underarm ‘talent’ was criticized throughout the cricket world. Everyone said it was a mockery of the rules of cricket. After this incident ICC also came into action and changed the rules. After this, underarm bowling lost its recognition. Even earlier it was considered against the spirit of sportsmanship, now it has been banned in the rules as well.
