#4 Underarm bowling
It was Australia once again, it was Greg Chappell all over again, it was bizarre, it was controversial, it was enough to change the rules.
Back in 1981, Australia took on New Zealand in the finals of the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
New Zealand needed six runs to win the match and the Australian captain Chappell instructed his younger brother and bowler Trevor Chappell to run up and bowl an underarm delivery.
While it was not against the rules, this particular act invoked a lot of criticism and the cricketing world rallied around to lambast the hosts.
The International Cricket Council shunted this mode of delivery out of the game as it was "not within the spirit of the game."
