Most disgraceful moment in cricket history-The underarm bowl

Australia captain Grey Chappell instructs his younger brother, Trevor, to bowl the final delivery of the match in an underarm fashion. Rod Marsh can clearly be seen behind the stumps saying "No mate".
A six was required to TIE the game. Not to win, just to tie. Australia also breached fielding restrictions as well, so the it should of resulted in a no-ball.

A day that will be never forgotten in trans-tasman sporting history - a day that truly should the Australian mentality of "Win at all costs" - even if it means the spirit of the game if discarded along the way.
