I can't remember too many better innings in a players last test match than this. He was imperious that day. What an incredible batsman he was, especially when you consider the quality of bowling he faced.
' ... especially when consider the quality of bowling he faced ... ' Over his whole career for sure, but certainly not this innings. I am wondering if he is still the only batsman to make a ton in both his first and last test? I think Javed Miandad was the first to make one in his first and 100th test, but don't quote me on that one.
I watched mesmerized as Greg made his first hundred in Perth, and vividly remember his last test - again watched with complete rapture. A great cricketer.
When I played the test match with me dad I always had Greg Chappell as at no 1. He was my hero growing up in the 70’s/80s . I remember you could iron the transfers of your favorite cricket 🏏 player on ya T-shirt getting out of Sunday times, or was it the western mail? Or it could of been the daily news? How times have changed in cricket.
The best coach india could have had. He was responsible for the young blood in indian cricket but the slimey ganguly and the board of cricket played politics.He was way ahead of his time.
Imran was playing as a batsman in the later part of that series since he was recovering from an injury. The Pakistan attack was limited without him. People forget though that once Chappell, Lillee and Marsh left there was a big void in the Aussie team for a while. You look at the team and apart from Border almost no one else was in the team two years later as a result of the South African rebel tour. It took a good 2-3 years for Australia to rebuild with Border, David Boon, Steve Waugh, Dean Jones, Geoff Marsh, McDermott and Bruce Reid as the core of the team.
No one forgot that, what are you talking about. You also forgot to mention that the rebel tour to South Africa took many of the test players out of the game for 3 years during that period.
0.16 min - talk about a reluctant ha ha handshake. 3.01 min - love how Chappell 'thanks' Mohsin for helping in going past Don Bradman's tally. haha ! Love the human angle in sports, especially cricket.
When he became the first Australian to reach 7000 test runs, I don't think there were too many others to have done so apart from Boycott, Sobers, Hammond and Gavaskar.
@gemma harden Thanks Gemma, he was quite a batsman that's for sure. If WSC had occurred 10 years earlier than what it did, then his one day record would most likely be the equal of Ricky Ponting's.
@gemma harden Yeah test cricket is definitely the ultimate. I mentioned it because Greg is unjustly forgotten in a who's who discussion of our best one day players.
As an Australian I wish there were videos of the Australia v Pakistan series in Pakistan in late 1982 when Pakistan won 3-0. Zaheer Abbas, Javed Miandad and Mohsin Khan all scored heavily, Abdul Qadir took 22 wickets and Imran Khan 8 wickets in the last test. The victory margins were 9 wickets, an innings and 3 runs and 9 wickets again and it was truly a comprehensive thrashing. In the 1980s even the might West Indies had to settle for a drawn series in Pakistan and all other comers were trounced.
You just included them ...lol .... you are right though, apart from on the 1972 tour to the Carribean, he never faced the West Indies in anything but their full pomp. Even in 1975-76, when windies lost 5-1 here, they still had Roberts and a talented rookie called Michael Holding.
I think he is the only batsman who scored century at debut and at farewell. He is very graceful batsman. Dilip Venkasarkar, Gudappa Viswanath , Mohammed Azarudin , David Gower, Mike Atherton and martin Crowe are all in the same category but chapell leads them all.
@@anekethchellamani1876 Wrong ... I just googled it and apparently so did Bill Ponsford, Mohammad Azharuddin (being Indian I thought you would be all over that one :) as well as a player called Reggie Duff (who I have never heard of because he played prior to World War 1). So Chappell was not even the first, so why did the commentators of the day claim he was I wonder?
@@White742 lol are you serious, why are you so dumb? You mentioned that Indians weren't skilled to win a tournament. If Indians werent skilled how come they won 2011 world cup and 2013 champions trophy under different coaches but almost the same team like sehwag, tendulkar, dhoni, yuvraj, harbhajan, zaheer khan etc which were there under greg chappel also? Morally this idiot demotivated the team which resulted in huge losses during his tenure.
He should be the most complete batsman of his generation . He bats like a surgeon. Real great.

@@Bernie8330 Yeah, it looks a decent bowling attack until you realise that Imran wasn't bowling at all due to a stress fracture in his shin.
Another great Greig Chappell A great coach who made Indian cricket team strong in his tenure. 🎉🎉🎉
Good joke😂😂😂😂😂
How was the joke
My Dad's favourite batter...what a legend. 100 in your first and last Test.
Class...pure and simple!
Those elegant,classy shots are treat to watch ❤🇦🇺🔥
I watched mesmerized as Greg made his first hundred in Perth, and vividly remember his last test - again watched with complete rapture. A great cricketer.
Still for me the best Batsman Australia produced.

One of the prolific batsmen that had ever graced the game of cricket ❤
Greg Chappell legendary player
The best coach india could have had. He was responsible for the young blood in indian cricket but the slimey ganguly and the board of cricket played politics.He was way ahead of his time.
The very worst coach that even Australian players refused to share the dressing room with. An excellent test batsman but a vile human being.
Elegance!
perfect ending
In the old days of very poor Pakistan fielding. But enormous effort by GC, in an era when not many had an average above 50.
Warrick Dawes Sir I don’t think their fielding is any better quality now.

I saw his first match hundred and this last one.
One of the most elegant and stylist Batsman who played several splendid innings.
He has a really strong bottom hand..
If he played today he'd have played more games and scored heaps more runs. Only Bradman can beat him as Australia's best batsman.
sir your video of quality excellent please upload pakistanI performance

@@Bernie8330 brilliant comments
Best part of the video was when miandad gave greg a manly handshake
Javed was a class act and a class player.
And remember - his 1256 superset runs against the cream of the West Indies at 56 are not included in his career figures !
You just included them ...lol .... you are right though, apart from on the 1972 tour to the Carribean, he never faced the West Indies in anything but their full pomp. Even in 1975-76, when windies lost 5-1 here, they still had Roberts and a talented rookie called Michael Holding.
He made it look effort less.
"misfield by Salim...." hmmmmm, got to wonder
I think he is the only batsman who scored century at debut and at farewell. He is very graceful batsman. Dilip Venkasarkar, Gudappa Viswanath , Mohammed Azarudin , David Gower, Mike Atherton and martin Crowe are all in the same category but chapell leads them all.
Alistair cook did the same too. But yes before cook, chappell only had that record.

@@Bernie8330
Azza was still in the future, Duff you probably answered your own question, Ponsford, well they're allowed to forget one, aren't they?
@@stevemckellar3513 That's true, but the ABC commentators had something much better than google ... they had Wendy!!! lol
His batting style like Martin crowe
Correction: Martin Crowe's batting style was like Greg Chappell...
Day 1 of watching this video until CA like my comment
Day 2 of watching this video until CA like my comment
The Indian people hate this famous cricketer. It's really shameful.
We hate him only as a coach of indian team but not as a player. He was a great player.
The man who almost finished up indian cricket with his cunning tactics
He didn't do anything , his brother once said " he would make India either the number 1 team or last " and the 2nd thing happened
He was hardly to blame.. Certainly indians couldn’t handle him
U r wrong man.
