[edit] Questions

>> Not a classical spinner, Underwood was closer to medium pace and was often unplayable on the seaming English wickets.

Was he good on seaming wkts too ? I have heard only about rain affected wickets.

>>> He played county cricket for Kent and was also one of two England cricketers (the other being Alan Knott), to feature in Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket in the late 1970s.

What about Tony Greig ?

"Not a classical spinner, Underwood was closer to medium pace (officially slow-medium)". Slow-medium is 40-49mph - pretty slow even for a spinner! Lfh 11:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
