[Manning] must change his delivery for 1875, as he delivers above the hip, and that will be illegal next season. The underthrow must be made with the arm swinging so as to keep the hand below the hip. The most effective underhand throw is made when the hand is low, and near the ground, so as to send in a rising ball, that being the most deceptive to the batsman’s eye. Creighton used to deliver with his hand not six inches from the ground at times.
