February 1st, 1981, a day that will forever be remembered in New Zealand cricket history.

The Australian captain, Greg Chappell, told his brother, Trevor, to bowl the last ball of a One Day International underarm to stop New Zealand from having a chance to hit a six to tie the match.

This was after Greg Chappell had earlier refused to accept that he had been caught. The umpires had not been looking and gave him not out. Greg Chappell consequently top scored for the Australians.

Are we still sore about it in New Zealand..........No!

Mate, we apologise (again) Please do NOT declare war on us- I thought it was a cowardly act, too.

Wow, these Kiwis don't hold a grudge!


And I'll agree with Ozzz, cowardly and unsporting.

yep, all of the above
sheesh, I can still remember watching it .. was it live, or did we see it on the news?

Build a bridge ........and get over it.

I remember how upset Australian wicketkeeper, Rodney Marsh, was when he realised what Ian Chappell had told his brother to do. I think nearly every Australian I knew thought it was very unsporting.
