>> Not a classical spinner, Underwood was closer to medium pace and was often unplayable on the seaming English wickets.
Was he good on seaming wkts too ? I have heard only about rain affected wickets.
>>> He played county cricket for Kent and was also one of two England cricketers (the other being Alan Knott), to feature in Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket in the late 1970s.
What about Tony Greig ?
"Not a classical spinner, Underwood was closer to medium pace (officially slow-medium)". Slow-medium is 40-49mph - pretty slow even for a spinner! Lfh 11:47, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
The term "unplayable delivery" is often bandied about by cricket comentators. Sometimes with good reason, and never more so then when talking about Derek Underwood. Have a look at this and feel glad you weren't batting that day. There is not a batsman born that would lay a bat on that in a month of sundays. And not a bad take by Knott either. -- LiamE 21:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

It seems perfectly fine to have "circa 15 April 2024" or "April 2024". I don't think we need circa if we are not giving the day, April is an abundance of caution already, as we are mid-month. All the best:
