Underarm, The
Synopsis:
This is the story of two brothers ripped apart by the most infamous act in trans-Tasman sport. When the Aussies committed what Rob Muldoon later described as An act of cowardice appropriate to a team that wears a yellow uniform', The MCG ignited: Kiwis v Aussies, Aussies v Aussies, and Colin and Dons' drunk parents violently versus each other. Kiwi Mum drags Colin, screaming, off to live in Wellington, NZ. Don marinates with Dad at home in Brisbane. As adults, Don and Colin are reunited at the Basin Reserve in Wellington, and put on trial the very man responsible for their separation the Australian cricket captain in 1981, Greg Chappell. But the hijinks soon turn serious when the scab's ripped off their troubled past and the focus shifts to the real culprit: which parent was responsible for their lost childhood? What results is a tumultuous ride through sport, politics and the ugly side of broken families. And, of course, the perennial sledging match that is Aussie-Kiwi relations.
