Word origin

The term 'underthrow' originates from the sport of cricket, where it specifically refers to the act of throwing the ball underarm instead of overarm. This technique was historically used in the early days of cricket but has since been largely phased out due to changes in rules and regulations. Underthrowing is now considered to be unsportsmanlike behavior in professional cricket matches, as it is seen as a violation of fair play. The term continues to be used within the context of cricket to describe this specific bowling technique.
