Australian Team captained by Greg Chappel in the 3rd of the five matches of in the final of the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
New Zealand needed six runs to tie the match from the final ball, with eight wickets down. The Australian captain,Greg Chappell ordered the bowler (his brother, Trevor Chappell) to bowl underarm: rolling the ball along the ground to avoid the possibility that the No. 10 New Zealand batsman (Brian McKechnie) would score a six from the last ball to tie the match.

Everyone knows that! To my shame I have to admit it was Australian Greg Chappell who ordered his brother Trevor to do it. Not a good day in Australia's cricket history.

Richie Benaud called it the most disgusting thing he had ever seen in cricket and I agree with him.
