    • SAG IV - Greg Chappell

    • Sports Hydrant presents Greg Chappell in conversation with Stephanie Brantz at the Cricket Sports Advocacy Group Dinner. Greg and Stephanie discuss the the past, present and future of Ashes Cricket     Gregory Stephen Chappell, MBE (born 7 August 1948 in Unley, South Australia) is a former cricketer who captained Australia between 1975 and 1977 and then joined the breakaway World Series Cricket organisation, before returning to the Australian captaincy in 1979, a position he held until his retirement 1983. The second of three brothers to play Test cricket, Chappell was the pre-eminent Australian batsman of his time who allied elegant stroke making to fierce concentration. An exceptional all round player who bowled medium pace and, at his retirement, held the world record for the most catches in Test cricket, Chappell's career straddled two eras as the game moved toward a greater level of professionalism after the WSC schism. Since his retirement as a player in 1984, Chappell has pursued various business and media interests as well as maintaining connections to professional cricket; he has been a selector for national andQueensland teams, a member of the Australian Cricket Board, and a coach. He was appointed coach of the India national cricket team on a 2 year contract in 2005. However, a series of controversies and personality clashes, combined with India's poor performance at the 2007 Cricket World Cup led to his resignation from the position on 4 April 2007. Chappell has served as an academy coach for the Rajasthan Royals, and was hired as the All Stars Coach for the 2008 Twenty20 match against Australia. He also serves as the executive coach for a series of Cricket Summer Camps in the United States as part of Chappell Way.   The Sports Advocacy Group is an independent body, which aims to combine the expertise of the sports industry with the needs and aspirations of the Australian public to provide a voice for sport. We will publish the results of the SAG meetings on these pages and use them as the catalyst for informed debate and ask you to add your views. If you want to be heard this is where you need to be.
