1 00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: Here's John and the man. There's cutting fall. The man's 2 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,960 Speaker 1: cutting the room fall on the cutting room floor. Today, 3 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: something I saw that was very interesting. 4 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:26,119 Speaker 2: Alyssa Healy, an Australian cricketer, was discussing overarm bowling and 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,880 Speaker 2: that seems like a natural movement to get speed behind 6 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,479 Speaker 2: the ball, et cetera. Yep, well, she said, and this 7 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: is true that a female actually invented overarm bowling. Until 8 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 2: then everyone bowled under arm. This female, Christiana Willis, frustrated 9 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 2: with her underarm bowling action because it kept snagging on 10 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:49,919 Speaker 2: her big skirts. She allegedly starting throwing the ball over 11 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: her head, leading to the development of overarm bowling in 12 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 2: the eighteen hundreds. Really hiss because if she bowled under arm, 13 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 2: her skirts got in the way. So she suggested it 14 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:04,440 Speaker 2: to her husband, and fifteen years later he apparently decided 15 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:06,040 Speaker 2: this is the best way to go about it, and 16 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: everyone started bowling over arm. 17 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 1: Well, it took a while to come across with that 18 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: fifteen years later, and then he pretended it was his idea. 19 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: I bet, of course, that's such a man thing to do. 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 2: But all you have to do is say to any 21 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 2: New Zealander under arm bowling and you will ignite a fire. 22 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: It's like mentioning. Rainbow Warrior is the other one. They 23 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: are the two things to set off a kiwi. 24 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 2: Also, if you say the Australia invented the Pavlova, three things, 25 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 2: actually there's probably ten things. 26 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: Crowded house, I don't care whose they are. Let it go, 27 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,880 Speaker 1: but let's go back to the under arm bowling. A 28 00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 1: trigger warning for any kiwi's listening. This was I'll set 29 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: the scene. 30 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: It was February nineteen eighty one at the MCG the 31 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 2: third final of the Benson and Hedges World Series Cup. 32 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 1: Now New Zealand had managed. 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 2: To get really close to the Australian tally. They just 34 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 2: needed a six off the last ball to tie the game. 35 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 2: And here's what happened two hundred and. 36 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 3: Twenty nine and New Zealand's only hope now is a 37 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 3: sixth off the last ball for a tie. Well at Wisterias, 38 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 3: if they're going to bowl under arm off the last ball, 39 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 3: they're going to volt and under armed wherever believed it. 40 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 3: That's a disappointing finish, disappointed crime affecting the crowd who 41 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 3: it's all over. The fifty overs is here on eight 42 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 3: two hundred and twenty nine. 43 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 2: The skipper everyone was covered in ignomy, not glory. The 44 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: skipper was Greg Chapel. He instructed the bowler, who happened 45 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 2: to be his brother, Trevor Chapel, to bawl under arm 46 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 2: and the Australia hated it. New Zealand hated it. It 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 2: was everything that people didn't like about cricket. Where was 48 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: the sportsmanship and how did they get to that point? 49 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,359 Speaker 1: Whether they could bowl the ball under om? Is that 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: a well known rule? What was the rule here? 51 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: Actually, Richie Bernard, because they were wondering it was unethical 52 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,800 Speaker 2: but it was legal here it is being discussed afterwards 53 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,640 Speaker 2: by Richie Bernard. 54 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: Now one of the New Zealanders are disappointed, and none 55 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 3: of them more disappointed than their skipper. Jeffrey Howe. There 56 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 3: he is now, and I know exactly the reason he's 57 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 3: out there. He's played his cricket over in the United 58 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 3: Kingdom with Surry for a number of years and the 59 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 3: Benson hedges domestic competition. There is a series of rules 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: designed to make the game flow freely and to avoid 61 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,639 Speaker 3: incidents such as the one that happened here today. Now 62 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: there is the relevant rule on page two and it 63 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 3: says that no bowler shall be permitted to bowl under amen. 64 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: That's what Jeffrey Howse is out there talking to them about. 65 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: It is not in the Australian Benson Hedges World Series 66 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: Cup rules because the administrators. 67 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: Didn't put it in. 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 3: I hope they put it in by tomorrow morning, otherwise 69 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 3: there'll be a lot of criticism for what was a 70 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 3: disgraceful performance out there today. 71 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: Red tape and now let's discuss who invented the Pavlova. Okay, kids, 72 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 1: that's it today. Come back to Mark Bore, Charlsey and Avandiston.
