I think, underarm bowling isn't illegal if it is pre arranged before the match. I shall consult Tom Smith.

No need to go to that far. Law 24.1.b mentions it. Tintin 03:14, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Note that there is a more detailed article on Underarm bowling and the two articles handle pretty much the same stuff. Tintin 03:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

So I think we should qualify the word illegal. do you agree or am I nit picking? Johnnybriggs 19:23, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

"Today the laws pertaining to the bowling of "beamers" would be likely to render most lob bowling illegal, and it would probably be deemed a wide." probably irrelevant and incorrect since beamers are balls which do not pitch.

This article seems to have turned into one on "donkey drops" see Spedagues Dropper by Conan Doyle. Lob bowling was slow underam (usually spin) bowling which dropped on a normal length. Donkey drops are something specific and different Johnnybriggs 06:57, 13 February 2007 (UTC) I think this should be merged with underarm bowling

What does this mean: "As an underarm bowler he had an action a little like setting a wood in crown green bowling." Drutt 22:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
