WHO AM I?

In the third match of a best of 5 finals in the Benson & Hedges cup in 1980-81 New Zealand needed 15 runs off the last over. In the first five balls Trevor Chappell dismissed Richard Hadlee and Ian Smith but conceding 8 runs. Trevor's brother Greg instructed him to bowl the ball underarm. He did so, causing great furore and probably the greatest cricket controversy since the Bodyline series in 1932-33. Off the last ball who needed to hit a six to force a tie?
