Only a slimy git would ever bowl a grass grubber. I think his name was Chappell.

flick it up with the foot then belt it as far as u can....

Trevor Chappel bowled an under arm (yucky title for a delivery) to the last man I think, when the chasing team needed 6 of the last ball or something like that. Pretty lame.

Never knew its called the ground grubber.

Was never sure which Chappell it was, but I've just got the definitive answer from StatsGuru (someone had already asked it).

Hi,Roy. Good to have you along.

He bowled it to a kiwi. it was against nz. wouldn't expect anything else from aussies... bunch of ex convicts....

jk

there was an ad for instant kiwi (scratch and win tickets) where the batsmen put his box on the ground and the ball kicked up off it and he hammered it for six.

anyway... the rule i usually play by is 3 bounces is a no ball.

Nice first post, marto.

Concise and to the point.

Now if you could add in less than 5,000 words WHY they are the greatest team ever, you will go even higher in my estimation.

As for actually posting your remark in the wrong thread, it's a shame that no-one else is likely to read it in the context it was intended.

Welcome to Cricket Web.

mm wingers, lol..

I just pick the ball up and throw it back to the bowler when he bowls a daisy cutter

I agree with the belting theory, but a tickle down to fine leg couldn't go astray.

Nothing...we just play it
