The underarm throw is also called the underarm flick these days. This throwing technique has changed over the years. With one-day cricket increasing this area of fielding is of paramount importance now. A common sight in a one-day match is a fielder inside the 30 yards circle flicking underarm to get a crucial run out and changing the complexion of the game. Time is of the essence here so it is advisable to collect the ball in front of you (as shown in Pic) than besides you and with a flick of the wrist (instead of the unwinding of the arm, the old method) get rid of the ball quickly. Important tip here is not to look up at the target before the ball is in your hand. This will create the fumble. A common mistake made by many.
