Is Greg Chappell a MBE? DarthVader

Yes. He received it in 77ish, whereas Australians since about 1990 have been ineligible for imperial honours, due to the changes made by the Hawke Labor govt. Now the most an Australian can aspire to in terms of honours is an AO (Order of Australia)

1979. See this -- Ian ≡ talk 13:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutely appalling. ... is the coach of the Indian cricket team. He is also a former Australian cricketer. Am I the only one who sees his stellar career as an Australian cricketer, and captain, as worth something more than also? Prepare for a big rewrite on this one. Darcyj 12:32, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I did a double take when I saw that. JH 19:39, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, Greg Chappell intervened, told his brother to deliver the ball along the ground (ie. underarm) and he then informed the umpire to let the batsman know of the change of bowling style. Despite the protestations of wicketkeeper Rod Marsh, the ball was delivered and the batsman simply put his bat in front of the ball to stop. He then hurled his bat away.

Knowing absolutely nothing about cricket, I'm confused about what this means. Is the underarm delivery "unsportsmanlike"? Were the described actions of the batsman an act of protest or is that something you do in cricket? Yes this is a cricket-related article, but I think it would be better if the article is written without assuming the reader knows this stuff. Perhaps someone who is keen on cricket/history could add some words characterizing what specifically was inappropriate about this incident. Dwr12 (talk) 08:10, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'Is the underarm delivery "unsportsmanlike"?' Yes. 'Were the described actions of the batsman an act of protest or is that something you do in cricket?' An act of protest. The "underarm incident" was strictly legal, but outside the spirit of the game. The concept was to roll the ball along the ground to the batsman to prevent him hitting the ball over the boundary "on the full" to score "six" runs and win the game. Underarm bowling was a relic and had not been used in serious cricket for 100 years. Chappell used a loophole in the Laws of Cricket and the Laws were later changed to prevent it from happening again. I agree it needs clarification and I will see what I can do.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Greg Chappell. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20081122141211/http://www.1888pressrelease.com/cricket-legend-greg-chappell-s-coaching-is-now-available-to-pr-13ieu6u31.html to http://www.1888pressrelease.com/cricket-legend-greg-chappell-s-coaching-is-now-available-to-pr-13ieu6u31.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Regarding "Despite the popular perception that Chappell's tenure as coach was an unsuccessful one, he had a hand in laying the foundations of the team that went on to win the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and 2011 Cricket World Cup. He handed debuts to Sreesanth, Munaf Patel and Suresh Raina, who were all part of India's squad in the successful 2011 World Cup campaign." -

1. There are no references cited for "laying the foundations of the team that went on to win the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 and 2011 Cricket World Cup". "laying the foundations" part of section is opinion of author of this Wikipedia Article.
2. "He handed debuts to Sreesanth, Munaf Patel and Suresh Raina, " - this makes it sound as though the debuts were favours, and not earned by respective players with their performances in Domestic Cricket.
   1. Coach is not the only person involved in Squad Selection. Biggest decision makers for this would be Indian Selection committee, which looks at a number of factors. Another person who has a say in this process is Captain of the Team. This section makes it sound as though Greg Chappell single handedly took the decision to offer these players a place in team.
3. No analysis of contribution Sreesanth, Munaf, Suresh Raina and Robin Uthappa's contribution to India's win.
4. None of these players have attributed Chappell for improving their game / for coaching them.

Greg Chappell may have contributed enormously to Australian Cricket. But every single Indian Player who has spoken on record has spoken negatively about his influence on / contribution to Indian Cricket. And this section looks like an attempt to whitewash / downplay same. See this interview with Sachin Tendulkar for an example - "Players were right about Greg Chappell: Sachin Tendulkar".
