What if: Greg Chappell did not become India's coach

#5 The under-arm bowling controversy would still be his biggest one

You utter Greg Chappell and the first thing that first comes to the mind of the readers is the Chappell-Ganguly controversy and people forget about another dispute where he had asked his brother Trevor to bowl underarm in a One-Day International.

Australia were playing New Zealand in the third ODI of a five-match series on February 1, 1981. The series was tied at 1-1 and New Zealand needed a six of the last ball to tie the game.

To ensure that the Kiwis did not get the runs required Chappell instructed his bowler and younger brother Trevor to bowl under-arm along the ground. The action then was considered legal but the move was highly criticised by all in the cricket fraternity.
