00:00:00
And there was this commotion happening in the middle and we were sort of looking from the sideways thinking,
00:00:03
"What are they talking about?" And then the penny [music] dropped. Greg had told
00:00:06
his brother Trevor to bowl under us. This is the largest playing arena in the world of cricket. The boundaries are
00:00:13
bigger than anywhere else. Brian is coming in to face his first ball. Brian is a good guy, but there was no chance
00:00:18
in Hill that he was going to hit a six. It becomes obvious that Greg has told Trevor to bowl underarm, and Trevor's
00:00:24
looking at his brother saying, "I don't want to do this." And Greg is saying,
00:00:28
"I'm sorry, you have to do it." And Rod Marsh is the wicket keeper sort of
00:00:31
wagging his head saying, "No, no, don't do it." And [music] anyway, it happened.
00:00:36
It was in the rules that you could do this, but no one ever, it's one of those
00:00:39
rules you never know about. You never would think of doing it. And then it happened. We realized we're on to a
00:00:45
winner pretty early. that this gave us the moral high ground that 44 years later we've still got with Australia.
