It was the final of the Australia & New Zealand one day series & the Kiwis needed 4 runs off the last delivery to win (doable by hitting the ball to the fence surrounding the oval). The Aussie Captain told the bowler (his brother) to deliver an underarm deliver (roll it along the ground). It was legal as per the rules of the game at the time, but the incident was in very poor sportsmanship.
