Famouos Cricketers No 92 - Ian Chappell

1972/73 Australia won all three Tests against Pakistan, although the visitors, full of talented players who were professionals in English county cricket, fought hard in two matches. Chappell made 196 in the First Test, although the Pakistanis were adamant he had been caught at the wicket off Asif Masood when only 5. He hit three sixes out towards the Victor Richardson gates, the memorial to his grandfather erected on the Adelaide ground. South Australia came second in the Sheffield Shield table. Ian Chappell made 848 runs at an average of 60.57 and Greg 772 at 59.38, despite missing the last three matches through the Australian tour of the West Indies.
