With the Greatest Respect: Episode 2 - Ian Chappell

[@vishwanath1761]

Huge respect to Ian Chapell. I never saw him bat live, but I first saw him speak during Australia's 98 tour of India and he has been ruling my heart when it comes to cricket commentary. Ian Chappell has his heart set in the well being of cricket. He is the most neutral cricket commentator I have seen. I wish you a very happy and long life Mr Chappell. Thanks for all the entertainment.

[@danielbrowne9089]

I’ve been binging Chappeli videos, he’s a really smart and insightful man. Love his impression of Bradman

[@cricketylife8742]

Any conversation with Chappelli is fascinating !

[@prakashmungekar3119]

When Ian Chappell got out on 99 against India - at Calcutta ,Year 1969 my eyes were moist for sure . I was just 9 years of age . Those memories are still fresh .

[@georgep9059]

One of my all time fav cricket commentators

[@andrewmason8691]

Great, great interview. As an interviewer, you asked the question and rightly sat back to let Chappelli share his vast experience and insights. Chappelli also reminds me so much of my late dad. Both have this loyal, fair, no nonsense approach to life.

[@VVS167]

Loyalty ., and fairness..😲 gee., must be some bloke if he’s got those TWO TRAITS IN EQUAL MEASURE😎

[@srini1635]

Incredible how eloquent and charismatic he is. Such broad life experiences. PS: Shameless is bloody marvellous

[@raffaelesellaro5890]

Favourite commentator ever,and could listen to him all day.

[@justinschiferl213]

i’m south australian as well grew up in the 2000s but i am a HUGE fan of the 1970s cricket he changed the idea of captaincy. Back when planet earth produced great and real humans unlike the present era where everyone wants to own everything and nobody has any idea of what friendship is today

[@mnmmnm8321]

Lol, don't be so despdonent: your generation has its strength🤾🍿💯🏌️

[@mnmmnm8321]

Because you will always have the poor with you - SCRIPTURE

[@MAli-o9h9n]

"everybody wants to own everything" i agree with that defo. Now players don't care that much about international cricket. Lucrative t20 leagues mean more to em. AB de Villiers is the best example. He was fatigued from playing for his country but its all good playing in the t20 leagues. One of the greatest cricketers SA produced. If he was fully invested who knows they might hv won an ICC trophy by now

[@venkatkrishnan8146]

Interesting interaction between Ian and David Evans. Great fan of Ian Chappell for his aggressive captaincy and terrific commentary after his retirement from the game. Remember vaguely about the 1969 Test Match at Chepauk, then Madras, when I was in the ground as 10 years old cricket fan. Australia won that match from jaws of defeat, thanks to some poor fielding by Indians.Ian was bowled by Mohinder Amarnath who debuted in that match. Walters made 102 brilliant runs against a bunch of wily spinners. Nostalgic memories. Thanks Ian and wish you all the best. Venkat from Chennai

[@raajac2720]

Mr Ian Chappell is one of the greatest commentator in the world,both Tony Greig and Ian Chappell are two most celebrated in the cricketing field.tony is most flamboyant,Ian is most technically sound commentator.i am indian but I love great Ian long live.because of your voice,I am watched many ordinary matches.thanks Ian Chappell sir.we salute.

[@andriodcellphone7156]

He is my childhood hero too. I love to listen to him and what he has to say. Love from Rawalpindi

[@pat1589]

Awesome interview. What a legend.

[@MVgaming627]

So interesting he was a player I loved to find out about when I was young and just into cricket he in WSC then but I liked his style. As a commentator he is just as great.

[@julianchristopher147]

My favourite batsman. I saw him make several centuries at Adelaide Oval. The back and across movement made his defence look so safe and secure. He had a wide range of attacking shots, always interesting to watch, somewhat unpredictable, excellent use of the feet against spin, superb cover drives. He played with spirit.

[@davidbowey8997]

I'm English but I admired Ian so much as a cricketer and as a captain

[@briansukhu4392]

I love listening to his wisdom, insight and knowledge

[@nateshiyer140]

Fascinating....thank you so much for this.

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Nice work David. Ian Chappell is a great man and a legend. Met him during 2006 Boxing Day test. I mentioned that I really admired his knowledge of the game and his commentary. Ian was very appreciative of my comments. I would love to have a beer with I.M.C.

[@al6054]

Modern day players have plenty to thank I.Chappell for.. Took a stand against the establishment and won. Never lost a full series as skipper and as a number 3, always took the attack to opposition bowlers... A great man 👍

[@fred1eful]

I've always had respect for lan chappell, he has always had the gift to analyse in fewer words as a commentator whats happening on the cricket in all facets, As a player and captain was a general, that australian team he led was one of the best teams of all time

[@user-yi5mt2df5q]

I miss his commentary so much

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Yes me too.

[@cheesie6575]

He’s on the ABC now, only time I listen to their commentary

[@billmorris3146]

Ian Chappell is in every respect the modern day Richie Benaud; the sharpest cricket brain of them all.

[@peterhavord5984]

Chappelli has been a ferocious competitor and great leader all of his life. Alan McGilvray, who played first class cricket for NSW during the Bradman era and went on to become the 'voice' of Australian cricket for his ABC radio commentaries for over 50 years, said Chappelli was the greatest cricket captain he ever saw. I doffs me lid Chappelli.

[@OwenWalters-ny5qh]

Brilliant interview thanks for downloading a fantastic episode with an Australian Great!!

[@markjuriansz1251]

47 mins in to 51mins. 100%correct. A good captain allows the contest to happen, for the talented match winners to be visible and shine in the face of adversity.

[@ZubairKhan-nb5rx]

Great player

[@HaiderKhan-gq3xp]

What a legend! In my opinion the present day Aussie teams go over the top a little bit with their banter. But Chappelli just keeps it real. Love listening to Chappell and Border. Tubby also. He was a bit different but what a cricketing brain that bloke has. Awesome conversation!

[@brendandennis5868]

Mark Taylor best summed up Chappelli for me when he said that, to this day, if Ian said we're having drinks in some bar in Melbourne at 5 o'clock blokes like Dennis Lillee and Rod Marsh would hop on a plane from Perth and be there at 5 o'clock.

[@ricardobufo]

Marshie would have a couple(?) on the plane to get into training for the session

[@kinshuksinghania4289]

Young Ian Chappell actually looks a lot like Howard from The Big Bang Theory!!! On a more serious note, he's one of the best analyst of the game. He has such deep insight and profound understanding of the game situation and the game in general!!

[@RealistVK]

The most honest & intellectual cricketing brain from 70's is this gentleman Ian Chappell. He speaks his mind irrespective of its about Australian cricket or anywhere else in the world.

[@brendandennis5868]

This interview is a treasure! 16:27 - I wonder what was the third piece of advice that Sobers gave to 18yr old Ian?

[@Chapps1941]

To not get too many women pregnant

[@chriswatson7965]

Ian Chappell was a remarkable cricketer, and a valued promoter of cricketer's welfare, but I think he has really blossomed in wisdom in his later years.

[@peteranderson6068]

Ian Chappell my favourite Australian Cricketer along with Thomo.

[@MrJonathanm50]

I found it a very thought provoking interview...the stories and anecdotes very interesting...I don't think there was a lot of love with Bradman when he was head of the boad. All these successful leaders have certain traits which people can find unpleasant...look at Botham, Lillee...similar characters...I thoroughly enjoyed the fact the language was not biped out...excellent.

[@so03]

Absolute legend.

[@asimabbas9423]

Always a pleasure and a learning curve listening to Ian Chappell

[@vickyverma5572]

A leader of Man & whose words imparts cricketing knowledge & geniuses. No wonder Warnie, turned him for advice during rough series.

[@compsecure77]

Absolute legend love or hate him the blokes epitimizes most of what I love about real Aussies, straight as anyone and never took a backward step as a player, maybe that's why he and Botham allegedly don't get on, similar characters.

[@andrewmaroc113]

took a lot of forward steps running from Botham, didn't get on with Botham because Botham didn't put up with Chappell's FIGJAM.

[@tonyknight9912]

Excellent interview and yes Thomo is the fastest I've ever seen.

[@alishatiwari6944]

One of the best commentators ever ; ian chappel , bill lawry , bob willis , david gower , tony cozier , naseer husain , mike hayesman, robin jackman and barry richard . Bill lawry and bob wilis has amazing voice .

[@roybennett9284]

No Tony Greig?

[@porkpiecap]

England, thrashed absolutely in 1975. He sparked the West Indies to realise their full talent thrashing them in 1976. Lillee and Thomson were never as effective again under different Captains. He unleashed a revolution against authority that put Cricket on a new dimension, internationally! Wealthy cricketers of today should get on their knees and thank this man. No WSC, no IPL.

[@porkpiecap]

I saw him hit a six during a Test match at the Adelaide Oval. A man's man who shared my dislike of Ian Botham.

[@mantaray2511]

Didn't know Kevin Bacon played cricket! Superb interview by the way.

[@Rajalord27]

Top bloke

[@mrkipling2201]

Seems like good advice to me. If you hit the ball along the ground, you greatly lessen your chances of getting out. One of the greats of Australian, in fact world, cricket. If only him and Botham would get along!!

[@anoopkhandekar799]

Super Interview Ian sir may be some pints down in the later part of reakky long session

[@cliveatwood4752]

Always liked Chappelli, definitely let himself down with the Beefy Bothom stuff but he was a great of the game and a fine broadcaster.

[@andrewmaroc113]

Beefy was 10 times the cricketer.

[@VVS167]

My only sporting hero I never saw play😎

[@michaelparadisis4076]

Never saw I Chappell play live-watched him play WSC up until retirement early 1980.

[@bunui2985]

Great

[@Chapps1941]

I make the case for him being the most important cricketer who has ever lived. He is the best captain of any test team. But more importantly every cricketer today can thank no cricjeter more important than Ian Chappell for their bank balance. He fought for that. Think about that!

[@andrewmaroc113]

Garbage - he was out for himself. Most important !!!! His captaincy was ordinary.

[@Chapps1941]

@@andrewmaroc113 fine, so you're new to cricket. But in fairness you maybe confusing him with Greg, his brother, who was a poor captain.

[@andrewmaroc113]

@@Chapps1941 Greg Chappell who was a first rate batsman took over the remnants of the team Ian left after he plotted with WSC. Ian Chappell tried to wreck the careers of Craig Seargant, Graham Yallop, Kim Hughes and anyone else who wouldn't succumb to his third rate vision of pajama cricket. Neil Harvey in particular and Bob Simpson had the guts to stand up to the rubbish. I am not new to cricket - I still recall Ian Chappell, touted by Bill Lawry as the best batsman in the world, scoring 93 runs in 8 completed innings against South Africa in 1969. Check Ian Chappell's captaincy record for series wins - 5 test series - he won two - wow what a record. Check his record against John Snow. A rabbit in front of headlights.

[@al6054]

​@@andrewmaroc113What a load of shit.. Did more for Australian cricket than anyone before or since. Plus 192 vs Snow at the Oval 1975 just proves you know nothing. You're an embarrassment

[@terrya8989]

Top batsman, brilliant captain but he just can't help himself with the swearing. My father was in a pub in the early 70's and Chappell was there, standing around swearing his head off while women were present. People didn't do that in them days. He left after someone challenged him about his behaviour.

[@bobbythomas5357]

Why do you call your mom by her first name. Seems so rude.

[@andrewmaroc113]

Chappell's overall average was mediocre and his average on TWO tours of South Africa was especially mediocre. This may be a stupid comment if facts challenge your mentality.

[@roosters1711]

Talk about a snorefest of a video. Lasted 10 minutes and switched off. Chappell is a cranky 80 year old. Reminds me of Neil Harvey 20 years ago.

Really? Wow. Each to their own I guess.

[@andrewsalisbury8225]

I remember thinking that way about him at one time , probably misinformed by the 12th man impersonation which frames him that way. I was wrong to think that and so is anyone who thinks that. There aren’t many living legends with so much insight into the cricket world of his playing era, the generation of players that preceded him (Bradman especially, inclusive his oppressive administration reign) and even fewer with all the aforementioned qualities that are also widely respected by the players who followed. I will never tire of listening to him

[@brettandsamthailand]

Lost all respect for him when he and David Hookes attended a baseball game at Parry Field in WA. Both were drunk and were absolutely disgusting with language and attitude towards females and children. If he believes his parents taught him well then think again. FIGJAM that I dislike. Disgraceful.

[@andrewmaroc113]

I lost all respect for Chappell when he continually bagged Steve Waugh because Waugh was both a better batsman and captain.

[@al6054]

​@andrewmaroc113 Steve Waugh not fit enough to tie Chappell's boot...An ordinary cricketer and woeful captain. Chappelli was far better at both
