Roundarm trial matches

The roundarm trial matches were a series of cricket matches between Sussex and England during the 1827 English cricket season. Their purpose was to help Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), as the game's lawgivers, decide if roundarm bowling should be legalised, or if the only legitimate style of bowling should be underarm, which had been in use since time immemorial.
