Famouos Cricketers No 92 - Ian Chappell

the end never played Test cricket, were preferred to the South Australian all-rounder. Nor were his claims advanced as the MCC touring team began their preliminary run of matches against State sides before the 1965/66 Ashes series began. Chappell made one run in two innings, dismissed each time by the energetic Warwickshire fast bowler David Brown. In the return match in December he scored a half-century and an undefeated century, but it was not until Australia were 1-0 down with three Tests to play that he was chosen in a very defensive-looking Australian team. Chappell and Keith Stackpole were selected as middle order batsmen who would double as the fourth bowler. Between them they bowled 45 eight-ball overs in the match, for two wickets. Fortunately fine bowling by McKenzie and Hawke brought Australia an innings victory. An unchanged team drew the last Test but Chappell and Stackpole did little.
