'''Underarm bowling''' is a style of [[Bowling (cricket)|bowling]] in [[cricket]]. The style is as old as the sport itself. Until the introduction of the [[roundarm bowling|roundarm]] style in the first half of the 19th century, bowling was performed in the same way as in the sport of [[bowls]], with the ball being delivered with the hand below the waist.  Bowls may well be an older game than cricket and it is possible that it provided a template for delivering a ball with a degree of accuracy.
