Quote:As an Englishman I find that a rather odd remark Paul. The Ozzies may be different.
As an Aussie, I'd agree with the oddity noted in the remark. Any throw in cricket, that is a return from the outfield, is overarm. The only occasion a ball is returned underam is in close proximity to the stumps and largely depends upon circumstances (pick up and lob; side arm etc).
The only other recorded use in the source material of what the "Tacticians" describe as the underarm is the famous battle against Kiwis when the attacker was in danger of giving away the victory...
