Ground Grubber

[Backyard-Basher]

what is everyone's rule on that?
i normaly take it
but i hate em :undecided:

 

[Cybersmurf]

wats that?? is it a underarm? if so its never happened so i wouldn't know

 

[Backyard-Basher]

it's when the bowler bowls it and it bounces then rans along the ground

 

[FrontierPsychiartrist]

I just tonk them for six

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

 

[Blewy]

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

 

[royGilchrist]

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).

Note : whereas my link to their site and the Q/A works, theirs to the database doesn't. Copy the whole link as is on their site, paste into your 'Address' box on IE/Netscape/Konqueror then delete the space after the hyphen and before the 81 - it works then.

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.

Ditto!! Belt it as hard as you can then refuse to climb the fence to get it!!

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

 

[Mr. P]

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

 

[NikhilN]

Nothing...we just play it

 

[cbuts]

brian mckentny was the batter who faced the underarm, he was also an all black involved in another controversy. he kicked the winning goal when we beat wales when hayden "dived out of the line out"

 

[inc_haydn]

all u ppl who get grubbers need 2 learn 2 mow ur lawn :P
we just play on pavement and if u somehow bowl a ball with 3 bounces it is a dead ball

 

[James90]

Never happens, grounds too hard, balls too bouncy, pitch is too short, we're too good

 

[33/3from3.3]

daisy cutter=noball. we say if you bowl a noball of any kind the batter can hit it any amount of times + noballs cant be out even if its 6 and out after hitting it 30 times. but the batter must get the ball after tonking it over the fence

My backyard tends to bounce unevenly at times, although it isn't the worst surface, and my little brother has an uncanny ability to make the ball keep low.

Our rule is that if the ball bounces more than once prior to reaching the batsman, it is a no-ball. It's a very good rule imo.
