Loved his way of dealing with fielder's chatter - exactly. 100%

This is why Chappelli is one of Australian Captains and dependable players of all time

Can somebody please explain why people feel the need to accompany discussions like these with annoying background music? I find it impossible to concentrate on what is being said. Pity.

“I don’t think sledging is an issue”. Goes on to describe a major issue.

Im an Aussie and Chapelli is 100% correct. Unfortunately, the Aussies have certainly taken it too far, as usual....

Really like Ian Chappell. I think he's one of the best analysts and commentators of the game. I notice he mentioned swearing, I find it hard to believe that he and his '70s Australian team didn't get into the swearing. Also fans do like the banter and occasional bit of fire between opponents, eg Merv v whoever and Johnson v The Poms

I am a great fan of Ian Chapel , the commentator. He is endowed with a thundering voice and clear in his diction. His comments are the most apt and keeps the listeners deeply engaged. I am a cricket buff since my child hood. The game underwent a

The bloke has more sense in his toe than most administrators put together. Despite his ill deserved reputation, he was a quiet fella on the field and he was a fierce defender of his players.

Pot calling the kettle black - Aussies under Ian Chappell started it. They later called it Mental disintegration. Got to take it back when it comes to you, not a one way street.

I remember when england were beating the aussies in 2010 some of the press complained that the aussies had been trying to be nicer on the field and that's why they were losing. It soon changed back

Many people dislike Ian Chappell but I think he's spot on. He calls a spade a spade. The game needs more like him. You go Ian....

Never seen this bloke grin or smile.

Chappell hit the nail on the head Fully agree No place for that garbage on the pitch. Play fair and keep the gob shut or don't bother playing.

Ask Sir Viv and his Windies team mates about Chappel and Aussie "sledging", thought the Aussie's lived to regret it, barely! 😂

Would'nt buy Chappel a beer but he spot on

And during the Bodyline series, when Australian cricketers had all the justification in the world to sledge English players, they chose to follow the example of their captain Bill Woodfull. Faced with a crippled Larwood, who could only stand within the crease and bowl gentle toss-ups, Bill chose, not to hit every single delivery for 4 or 6, but to dead-bat them down the pitch. Woodfull was a man of sterling character who never kicked a man when that man was down.

Spot on Ian

Chappelli had some good comments but then they had to go & talk to Taylor & then Slater with their biased dribble.

Ian Chappell practically invented sledging.

Ian Chappell speaking a lot of sense here even though he wasn't exactly the most sporting or gracious of cricketers himself.

If you can't take it. Don't try and dish it out!

Perhaps it's music by Sister Sledge...

When did Ian Chappel turn into Blakey from On The Buses?

I always well regards Mr Ian chappell.he is one of the most technically correct player and commentator.his immense wealth experience in as cricketer,he passed to game very well for understand for common people.his mesmerizing voice is absolute pleasure to hear I am always fan of mr Tony Greig and Ian Chappell.

Ian is such an amazing commentator. Very clear in his thoughts and so sensible. Love! May Allah Bless you from India.

Star cricket.❤

I like watching a good fierce contest with a bit of healthy banter but I do agree with chaps that it's over the top sometimes. 😮

Former Australia players are the biggest hypocrites about sledging. These players talk about what the other teams do! They call it sledhing ...which is bad. But what they do , so called abuse , they call it " mental disintegration".

I like Ian Chappell. Total commensense and absolute zero bullshit.

Chappell's comments were the wisest. However, i am not pro 'gamesmanship' per se.

When did he turn into a Sir?

It is Ian Chappell, not 'Sir Ian....' He also makes several good points, in particular his comment regarding talking, sledging and abuse. Talking and sledging both have their places but doing it to the point of detriment to the game - as is abuse - is not on. The background 'music' is not necessary nor is additional commentary by Mark Taylor and Michael Slater. Stick the relevancy of the title. It is Ian Chappell's comment that is being made here. If there is a desire to hear someone else's commentary then do a separate video. The fact that this video is several years old doesn't remove the relevancy of the topic - or the talker - to recent years efforts.

Always common sense from Chapelli.

Another great idea is to try bowling, batting, and fielding with competence. Much less thinking required. Plays to your strengths.

FIGJAM - he never did this once but shot his mouth off every chance he had

He’s right about the batsman giving some chirp back to the bowler at the non-strikers end, if the bowler wants to give it then give him some back when your not facing he’ll hate it.

Sir ? lol Ye right!

Tony Greig went on record saying many times that he, and a lot of his teammates of that 70s era, wasn't affected by anything that anyone had to say about them. And the times he paid attention to it, he may have had something funny to say in response. When it starts using racially charged language, that's out of line and should be dealt with.

Can someone say the name of the music used in the video...

I remember when Glenn Turner told Ian Chappell to shut his foul mouth during a Test Match while Turner was about to be bowled to. Went on to get a double century I think. Pity Chappell didn't follow his own advice about zipping it.

Chappell. Scared before, undignified throughout, successful in self humiliation by the end. A recorded testimony of spoilt brat as legacy for eternity. Botham arrives open, fearless, willing to compromise and acknowledge. Walks away forever dignified, gracious, dignity in tact, maturity in spades, leaving Chappell's bravado and fear unmasked, reputation shattered and plagued with shame that cannot be washed off or forgotten. A child in a sandbox, reduced to ashes, consumed by cancerous bitterness, beyond human redemption. Pathetic. Leaving "A tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury signifying nothing."

💯 agree

I agree with what Chappel says, but his hypocrisy is astounding given the sledging and yakking by the teams he captained and played in. And this behaviour ultimately plumbed the depths with the disgraceful, deliberate targeting of mental health by Steve Waugh and his team mates.

reminds me of when Glenn Turner told Chappell to zip it

Hold on chappie mate....cant stop a fella from talking.

Australians don't take themselves as seriously as other countries. That's probably why they have such a history of sledging. Also have a look at a state/county game in Australia, it's full of sledging and no one has a problem with it. Like Chappell said there is sledging or gamesmanship and then quite separately there is abuse. They aren't the same. Also like Taylor and Slater said it's a Small part of the game that gets way too much attention. It's international sport, not a tea party so sometimes people will get angry or upset , let the captain's and umpire's sort it out.

I wouldn't fuck with Andrew Symonds. Wonder what he would've ended up doing if he'd of been brought up in Handsworth in Birmingham?

I just don't find the reason to talk to batsman by the fielding side. It is cricket match. Not some combat sports

Ian Chappell absolutely correct. And I'm English.

left ear hurts

'Sir' Ian Chappell? He hasn't been knighted.

Hey sledging has been going for >100 year ;it’s called gamesmanship😊

Sir Ian Chappell? If that's true abd not a typo when did it happen?

Totaly agree with Chapelli.

It's funny how many of Chappelli's team-mates and opponents defend him when it comes to the accusations of him being a sledger. Even Ian Botham has referred to him as an example of a player reputed to be a sledger but who, in his experience, were nothing of the sort.

no fielding side "inane chatters" during the bowlers run up!!!... it happens at the dead ball period... a batsman can do the same

no sound man

or like Chappell says just back away from the wicket before the ball is bowled and just keep doing that every time they insist on talking, like he said it will be a long day and they soon get tired of it. =Z=

Sadly it depends who you play for

When was he knighted???

Didn't one bat's man ,who,s sister was killed by a train ,on the bowl up they were making train noise, s to him ,,absolutely sickening

Sir Ian Chappell? LOL

Question: Why is winning SO important??

great chap

when was ian chappel knighted?

Win at any cost , typical Aussies !

Chappell talks about inane chatter and Boucher was shown. The worst was Ian Healey with Shane Warne bowling. What is he calling the kettle????

If they want to stop sledging, I suggest they just let the players fight with their fists like they do in Ice Hockey. We'll see who the real tough guys are - they're usually the quiet ones.

Ian Chappell is not a SIR.. He is not knighted.. !!!

he hasn't been knighted.

The pronlem is that when winning sledging comes easy.when not winning front runners cant handle it.egomaniacs the worst.give it but cant take it.

I agree with everything Ian Chappell has said 100%

The umpires don't act.Its plain simple.Leverage to one team and punishment to the other has pretty much been the reason why it keeps on happening.If players are let off they take it for granted.Ask Aussie,South African and English cricketers as to how many times they are let off for literally abusing.Umpires turn deaf ears for them.

Teach ya brother some gamesmanship

What about underarm bowling?

Sea change.

Nothing wrong with a bit of witty banter but when it gets personal and nasty it is just bad sportsmanship. No coincidence that nearly every bad incident that you see over the years involves the Aussies! But they don't like it back and cry at every press conference when shown the error of their ways!

Chappell is correct sledging isn't a problem abuse abuse and racism and talking particular from a wicketkeeper why batsman are trying to concentrate facing a bowler is a problem love Anthony Fed ex lol

Gawasker ji Imran khan Sangakara Wasim Akram and great Sachin tendulkar

Sir????

He's not 'Sir' Ian!

Has Chappelli been knighted?

I hate sledging. Friendly banter no probs. But even that can get out of hand. If you can win with out sledging then give the game away. I’m an OZZY and being watching cricket since the Ian chappel / Tony Greg and Dennis Lillie era . I don’t remember seeing much then. I’m sure it happened. But when I saw our Glenn McGrath absolutely tearing strips off this little Indian batsman in a threatening manner it looked ugly as hell. I would like to think that that’s not part of the game. I no he was a very competitive bowler but totally unnecessary and not a good look for kids growing up playing the game. Look Glens a fantastic guy but I think he just got out of control. Our OZZY team certainly hasn’t been the perfect teem but still proud of our success.

and we all know Indians are always innocent,,,,,,,,,,,its always the other team

0:06 and 5:15 - who is the Aussie player doing blacck face here? Very offensive.

Sad. On both sides.

I hardly pay any attention to professional sports any more and, in the case of cricket, it mostly because of sledging. I guess the moment when I realised that I didn't like the game anymore came when Australia was playing in Test match and an Australian bowler, who stood 1.95 metres tall, was following through after each delivery, right down to the batter's end and, out of earshot of the umpire, calling the batsman a faggot and a c**ksucker and worse. Straight off, I lost all respect for that player and realised he wasn't playing the game "tough" - given his size, he was nothing more than a schoolyard bully and like all bullies, also a coward! And nothing since has changed my mind. Look at all the stories you hear of players being invited to sort it out behind the grandstand at the end of play. It never happens because the cowards know that their team mates will be there to protect them! And the umpires are next to useless in situations like this. When they are given the same powers as officials in some football codes i.e. send offs or sin bins, I might start watching the game again. Maybe that will weed all of the cowards out of the game!

Who the Hell is "Sir Ian Chappel"? Has Ian Chappell every met him? And stuck his Poncey English Knighthood up his backside?

Which went to extent of asking g about Brian Lara...it's a useless iduot called me grath...incapable maggot...many great bowlers got wickets without stopping by o that level

The original sledger. What a hypocrite.

Gracious, cricket is positively genteel compared to football.

easy to stop a wicket keeper doing that when facing a spin bowler, wait for the ball to be bowled (make sure it not hitting wicket when he bowls) then make a huge swing with the bat making out to try and hit the ball BUT MAKING SURE you hit that IDIOT across the HEAD WITH THE BAT, that will shut him up. Done this a couple of times myself and i can tell you NO ONE chats away or sledges me at the crease anymore after a couple of whacks with the bat they soon become silent when i come to the crease. =z=

Indian Pakistani Srilankan koi Sir hi nahi Dikhta

Chapell isn't a Sir

aussies do it, its gamesmanship... other do it to them.. they cry foul! btw who made ian chappel the authortiy on cricket ?

Verbals--good, abuse--bad. It's not complicated!

Great advice from chappelli. But fairs fair. Australia is consistently ugly on the cricket field. It was and is a gentlmen's game and the gameship he talks about is engrossing and should be a part of cricket. But not out and out abuse and chatter. That is bullying. Australia has been shockers at this and continue to this day. Glenn Mcgrath was a disgrace. He used to abuse them out or get them out. Shane warne used to pick a fight. In the old days a glare, a clap or a witty word was all that was required. Unfortunately Australia has celebarated the worse kind and therefore invented the word - sledging. This is not to say other countries don't engage in it, but other countries dont have a culture of it being mandatory to show some guts and fight. After all they come from convict class. PS - I was born down under. But I am ashamed of this shit.

Why is Chappell such a bitter, sad, lonely, old man?

Sorry….sledging ain’t cricket!

Was he knighted for the WORST decision in cricket ever seen!? Only in Aussie!! haha.
