It's always a pleasure to listen to Ian Chappel. You feel you are listening to a master story teller
Ian Chappell is the most intelligent man in cricket. His commentary is unique and a joy to listen to. Love to have a beer with him.

He's probably the only bloke left nowadays from Nine's cricket commentary team who you could have a beer with.

They are all gems. The bonding and friendship among them helped in their work as well. That’s a golden era for commentary. My all time favorites are Greig and Benaud
'Greg' is the nicest word I use for Greg Chappell - Ian Chapell.😅 An absolute legend of the game both on the Cricket field and in the commentary box. We, the cricket lovers must cherish that he is still amongst us doling out his observations and experiences.
I started to watch Ian Chappell videos lately and I am very impressed. and Bhogle-Chappel is a icing on the cake
What I like about Ian Chappell commentary during matches is unlike others who just plainly describe where ball is going to mid on , cover , boundary , he Talks as captain point of view what the teams should be doing next
“Great story teller”- absolutely true
Great stories from a great captain from a great era for cricket. Thank you for the upload.
"I don't necessarily disagree with the decision" 😄 ... listening to Ian Chappell is always a pleasure. Such a great story teller.
This guy is an absolute legend in the commentator booth. Some of the other commentators could learn greatly from him.
During wsc Ian came to our school Figtree heights in 1979...we only had a concrete wickets .. memories
He is thoughtful
Could be Kim Hughes...I'd put my money on Graham Yallop, who was the official captain of the non-WSC Australia during the 78-79 Ashes series. Mike Brearly, who was captain of England, nicknamed Yallop 'Banzai' because of his ridiculously aggressive field placings.

Yallop may have been mediocre, captaining Australia B, but the crying speech given by Kim Hughes, as he resigned, makes it a certainty that I.C. is referring to him.
The best thinker and the most neutrally erudite analyst of the game! unlike the partisan lot at Channel 9 ..
Wow!! I really like Ian Chappell....
Ian Chappell the best commentator ever!
Very thoughtful man,intellectual conversion.
Captaincy was given to Ian Chappell in last 7th test match of 1971 Ashes series England in Australia.Australia lost that test match and England won the Ashes 2:0. But next 10 years he converted Australia to a formidable side and won all the test series till 1980.A great Captain,a great team leader.The era 1970 - 1980 is called CHAPPELLI.

except for the series they lost - England 1977? west indies a couple of times; never won a World Series series; without Lillee and Thommo he wouldn't have won 1974-75

@@andrewmaroc113 I started listening test cricket from December 1972.From this date to present Ian Chappell is the greatest Captain.The batting pair of Chappell brothers (Ian and Greg) was the best. When any country plays against Australia in test match,I always wish Australia should win. Lille , Thomson and the big cheerfull Max Walker who with his accurate pace bowling use to take wickets intelligently under the pressure it Lille and Thomson.

@@drhemantjoshi5585 Hi Hemant thanks for your recollections. I've been a cricket fan - my first recollection was Wes Hall bowling in 1961 and I have avidly followed all cricket but mainly Test Cricket ever since. In that time I would rate - not in order - Gary Sobers, Ray Illingworth, Glenn Turner, Ali Bacher as far superior captains than Ian Chappell. None of these captains were divisive, confrontational or arrogant and yet attained better results than Chappell. Those were all in Chappell's era. Since then without giving it too much thought I would have to place Clive Lloyd, Imran Khan, Ian Botham well ahead of Chappell in all aspects of captaincy - Chappell's record as a batsman was mediocre, the run rates under his captaincy were woeful, and his success rate and results were middle of the road. Even with Lillee and Bob Massie bowling superbly he only got a drawn result in 1972. Most of the myth about his captaincy emanated from the spectacular results Thommo and Lillee( along with Max ) achieved in 1974 /75 against England. Ian Chappell wasn't captain in 1975 / 76 against the West Indies. When World Series arrived in 1977 Ian Chappell's Australians got smashed - if those results were included his record would drop from middle of road.

What does Ian tell at 06:08 - Only one at a time I not a _____________? I heard it as Gasar?
This man understands cricket as well as any. He really understands that at a high level, cricket is truly a selfless, selfish, individual, team game.

Missing Ian Chappel in d commentary box...
@TheAmatyarakshasa Absolutley spot on,thats the irritating aspect of all Indian journous these days esp in elec media,they need to learn to listen more than hear their own voice always..
Harsha Bhogle is the greatest cricket interviewer in the world... he has so much natural charm. Great guy
When there is talent, no need to crave for captaincy or position, it will have to come to you. its only a matter of time.
At @5:22 is Chappell referring to kim hughes or someone else?

I think Steve Waugh (Chappelli's pet hate). I believe Tugga craved the captaincy. Kim Hughes said in a documentary that he was pushed into the job by the ACB (Bob Parish and co) while he was completely unprepared.

@MrSigma Did you get to Part 3, 6:57? Chappell tells him to put a sock in it.
Harsha is a management guy . Smart ,articulate and devoid of ideas ...talks too much ...I am here to hear Ian not Mr Bhogale . It will make sense for someone like Ravi Shastri I tear viewing him ...
One of his mates craved the job and when he didn't get it they all whinged and whined and made the captain's life hell and drove him out of the game - pathetic
Wasn't it Ian who put the note in his wallet when a young cricketer to say he wanted to be the Australian captain?
Glad I don't have to listen to his boring crap stories anymore ffs "REMINDS ME OF 73" and you think here we go again
Yes, Chappelli! And you also turned down to be the Aussie PM, to be an astronaut, to be a billionaire....the guy is a yokel!

and a mediocre batting average to boot - 88th in Australian batting averages - how was he a great batsman ?
