(b.
23 November ,
1956 ) in
Wellington was one of the best
Batsmen New Zealand has ever produced. In the 1980's, he played 39
Tests and 64
One-day International s, altogether he played 175
First-class matches.
He was
Non-striking Partner on the pitch for the
Underarm Bowling Incident on
February 1 ,
1981 , during an ODI between New Zealand and
Australia . His striking partner,
Brian McKechnie , needed a six to tie the match from the final ball. Australian bowler
Trevor Chappell , on orders from the team captain, older brother
Greg Chappell , bowled the ball underarm, rolling it on the ground to prevent McKechnie from getting the six and lock the match up for Australia.
The unfortunate part of the incident was that, at the time, Edgar was 102 not-out for the innings. It is often considered "the most overlooked
Century of all time."
