Cricket’s most controversial delivery, Trevor Chappell’s underam, has been turned into a play and will be shown in New Zealand in September. The stage version of the February 1, 1981 incident will include a re-enactment of the ball that split two nations and the family described in the performance.
Another famous bowling style, that of Muttiah Muralitharan, is also being talked about in the Sydney Morning Herald. Bruce Elliott, the University of Western Australia biomechanics expert, says he is worried about his doosra.
"I have no doubt about his offbreak because he can bowl that quite legitimately and has a lot of leeway in his elbow extension. The doosra, I have more concern for. Warning bells should ring and it should be looked at more carefully from an umpiring perspective."
