The epic World Cup final of 1975 suggested an exciting series but West Indies went rapidly downhill to lose 5-1. Ian Chappell stood down from the captaincy but continued to play under his brother Greg, although many observers felt his silent presence played a large part in the team’s continued sense of purpose. Ian transferred his captaincy energies to South Australia, who reversed their recent fortune and became Shield champions again: although not without clashes between the players and the authorities.
