Ian Chappell, rightly or wrongly, always spoke his mind. He never left you wondering where he stands and what he believes.
So opening batsman with Avg of 45 and 23 test centuries isn't a legend?
He never bags his friends...and has a deep hatred for some of the greats of Aussie cricket...
@@aryavart296 29 Australian’s have a higher batting average than him at a test level, now imagine adding every other country.
@@MrSeanMDolan and how many tests did these 29 Australians play? Just curious
yes very true but most of the time was never right .
While not as imposing as others, Justin Langer gave some very important starts in tough conditions. He was a fighter is all i can remember. He had that typical fierce Australian hunger and passion in him.
He was a common man's opener. Gritty and hard working where he knew his limitations. If you see Langer than one like me can think If u work hard you can be a opener as well. Not everyone is a Hayden, Sehwag, etc.
I get what you are saying but I can tell you honestly ( I was in the same high school first eleven ) Matt Hayden was not a prodigy or someone you said was destined to play first class let alone test cricket. He worked so hard !! Extra training with his older brother Gary after our net sessions had finished. To me he is deserved his success because he earned it ….super tough and disciplined. Chapelle said it right, Langer is not a legend and to me he appears to coach with the passion he played with.
Matt Hayden was not gifted imo and Sehwag had issues with footwork
You’re right, not every batter is of legendary status. He is under the great category but certainly not legendary.
Every Hayden needs a Langer mate.
When chaps goes it's going to be an end of a fantastic era.. always gives great and insightful commentary
Justin Langer, from 105 tests scored 23 - 100s, 30 - 50s, highest score of 250, scoring nearly 8000 runs from his 105 tests, that’s pretty consistent and he certainly had some legendary knocks and often hung around as our top order dropped like flies on many occasions. Bit unnecessary to say he’s not a legend, whether it’s your opinion or not.
Even though I'm NOT a fan of Justin Langer but in YOU stating his aggregate throughout his tenure in MY opinion I reckon that He was better than Matthew Haydon. Haydons highest score was against a mediocre Zimbabwe and YES Haydon did have a brilliant series over in INDIA when He came back to the test team after about a 5 yr absent and LANGAR hung around alot more than Haydon when the batting collapsed around him. ..... just MY opinion though
The point is WHY does Chappell have to defame Langer...bitter old man
@@1362pc he didn't defame him. He said he didn't think he was a legend and Damien Martyn was twice as good. I'll agree with that. Damien Martyn was brilliant.
@@theread59 That is actually hilarious. Martyn was a fringe player and was in and out of the side. Was in no way as valuable as Langer. The amount of games, averages basically every stat you can think of Langer has it all over Martyn. Im a big fan of Martyn and wasnt the biggest fan of Langer during his time as opening batsman but that was more of a personality thing. I cant deny that Langer was a more consistent and much better batsman. Clearly opening the batting in test cricket is a much tougher challenge than a middle order batsman. Martyn was brought up the order on some occassions but would mainly bat at 6 before Gilly.
Hayden shone in 2000s era. Easiest test batting decade ever.
He’s literally 1/2 of the most successful opening partnership ever (there’s one partnership with like 20 more runs but it had 8 more games) langer scored 7700 runs at 45 average. Ian Chappell scored 5500 runs at 42.
Between the 2 langer is the legend and chapell was just a good cricketer.
Just because Ian Chappell is not a legend doesn’t mean that Langer is. His point still stands
@@united016 well you feel free to tell me what makes a legend. Because if a career like Langers doesn’t do it, then I don’t know where the cut off point is.
@@troystaunton254
Well there is a cut off point. Hard to define. But in 30 years Langer will be obscure. So therefore not a legend.
having a 45 average is nothing special in Australian cricket. we have 3 guys in the test side right now with an average over 45. in my opinion averaging above 50 for an Australian is what makes them a legend.
@@liam3104 mark waugh averaged 42, ian chappell rates him higher than just about anyone
I am also hoping for some good news about Rod Marsh. Like many I idolised him and Lillee as a kid and remember seeing him in person at the Adelaide Oval spanking Lance Cairns for 20-odd off the last over of an ODI. The crowd went berserk and the ball disappeared into the cars parked on the other side of the Victor Richardson gate! Great memories, great man.
RIP to 2 legends of Australian cricket, Rod Marsh and Shane Warne.
I am crying in admiration listening to what Ian chappel says. He is gold.
Try spelling his name right then.
@@bobburroughs6241 lol Ty :) typo 😝🤗🤣
@@bobburroughs6241 Ian Chapati
He's an idiot
🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely love Ian Chappell- for me he’s the most knowledgeable on the game. He’s 100% correct about Langer.
He's an idiot and is completely wrong about Langer. Langers stats prove that
chappelli goin into bat for the current crop is a delight to watch
@@patorr69 nah he's right, Langer was a decent opener but no legend at all
@@joedont9307 Langer was way better than Ian Chappell. also good to watch
Love hearing Ian.. Makes a lot of sense and the conduct is so great to see as well.
Always insightful to listen to Chappelli. Always speak his mind, never on the fence.
Whenever Chappell espouses his wisdom, it is easy to see why he was our greatest ever test captain!
Border Taylor Waugh Ponting ?
He was wrong twice, pace did nothing….and langer averaged 47 with 23 100s….how is he not a legend?
That would be between Waugh, Ponting and maybe Border. Bradman and Clarke were no less according to stats.
Border and Taylor were the best captains . Ponting took over a team that was a jaggernaut crushing every opposition home and away except for India in India .
@@harishg1507 Waugh was the best captain not even close
I hope Ian reflects on recent events and decides to be a little more compassionate towards people.
Hes just being brutally truthful. Too much compassion can lead to the kind of wormy behaviour that has defined the captaincies of Steve Smith, Paine and Cummins.
Chappell has his favourites and they can do no wrong
He has been a cricket commentator for 30+ years...never had to be accountable for anything...just bash other players
Chappelli was a genius player, very underrated in my opinion, he was one of the highest run getters in world series cricket(tougher than test cricket)
WSC - pretend cricket - Chappell was the best FIGJAM i have ever heard
Ian Chappell the best
Ian as always absolutely brilliant.
He's always been the poor man's Richie. Should never have been in the Australian team; should never have been given a commentary position.
Very good stuff! Chappell always great value.
Langer was a legend, 105 test matches averaging 45. The second half of his career cemented his legacy. He averaged 41 at 3 and was about to be dropped until he was given an opportunity to open where he averaged 48. 23 hundreds, not bad.
@@soulsphere9242 Legendary status is in the eyes of the beholder I suppose. BTW Boony was definitely a legend!!!
One of the best opening records there is, Chappeli obviously has a personal vendetta against that group
He might not have been a legend in the eyes of Chappelli but he had a superior record compared to him.
@@eulogist8120 He's getting a bit grumpy in his old age.
WAYYY better than Chappell's stats
Thanks Ian for generous remarks abt our beloved country . respect
“I played in an era where you had to work” so true but savage as well.
Chappels predictions were right on the money! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He is not right very often actually
Chapell has an Ian Botham calendar on his fridge
That's as close as Chappell would go to Beefy
"I don't know what the score'll be because I think there'll be a draw or two along the way."
Ian Chappell guest-starring as the Nostradamus of Cricket.
Chappell was a boyhood hero of mine. I always listen carefully to Ian Chappell's opinion given his long experience and the fact that he was a very good captain in his day. He is thoughtful and his commentary is noted for its candour. Much of his commentary is in response to hyperbole in media comment. It is a challenge in his profession to respond to the hyperbole in a way that grounds it, without being unnecessarily disrespectful to players. This is a skill Chappell struggles with. It is really hard these days to get a positive opinion from Chappell about any player, an administration or the development of the game. Unfortunately Chappell has become bitter with age. His comments about Justin Langer were just plain rude. Langer was a better player than Martin and indeed Ian Chappell, not because Langer had a better range of strokes (he didn't); but because he valued his wicket more.
Langer played in an age when test nations were more competitive than in Chappells era. Esp India and Pakistan.
Langer played 105 test matches, averaged 45.3 (50.2 vs England). South Africa was good in both eras - Langer averaged 42.7 in 11 matches against the likes of Donald and Pollack; Chappell failed averaging just 16.9 across 9 matches.
Chappell played 75 tests, had a lower average of 42.4 (and 41.1 vs England). Chappell did well 57.2 avg vs West Indies, helped by the fact that he retired in 1980 missing most of the two decade period of great WI teams.
HE likes to kick former players when they are down...JL was a far better batsman
@@1362pc JL is a legend. Chappell is jealous of just about any of Steve Waugh's pals.
He was a great player. As an Englishman getting a wicket down before 100 was up was a bonus with langer and Hayden opening
I think Langer was a legend. Played against a lot of talented fast bowlers back in the day. He’s got better stats than Ian Chappell.
I agree. Everyone in that team was a legend. However, Hayden was a much better player than Langer.
@@user-yi5mt2df5q not much better just different. People really under appreciate how good langer was he has 2000 more runs than chapell.
@@troystaunton254 Matthew Hayden was a player who could win a match just by himself. He was an X-factor, Langer was not. He was also a much better white ball player, but that is obvious anyway.
Well it's opinion isn't it. Plenty of players as good as Langer. So is he a legend ? Really lucky to be picked ahead of slater. He could of ended up with no career. Slater screwed up big time off the field in England and lost his spot
It’s definitely opinion true that.
As a neutral, all I can say is Langer may not be legend in comparison to Sachin, Lara, Ponting. But he was a modern test great on his own. There were several innings where he grinded it out and ensured Aussies had a great opening partnership.
Its easy to get lost in the greatness of McGrath/Shane's bowling. But one of the major reasons Aussies dominated then was because of the opening partnership that made sure there was scoreboard pressure on the opposition. Its most important factor in tests.
Any player who played 100 test must have performed thats why they were a part of the team but not everybody can fit in the category of legends, if you call warne mcgrath sachin lara ponting wasim as legends, do you really want to put lenger with them? Absolutely not and thats what ian said here
@@gogothelabradorretriever6622 Its not about what he said. Its about how Chappell said in a dismissive way. You are not either a 0 or a legend. He is one of greatest test openers and has all the credentials.
@@thiruvetti Can somebody define legen, Is it a specific number?
Anyone that averages 45 as an opener and dominates the Shield level for many years is a legend. Fact.
Depends on your definition of legend. Langer is not an all time legendary player. That's what he Ian chappel is trying to say
There was a long interview with Langer at lunch whilst listening to TMS here in England, and to be honest he sounded like David Brent at times.... he was an excellent batsman but he did not sound like the kind of coach who would inspire people.
he's good at picking up the pieces and getting the teams back on track, like he did with WA/Perth team and the Aus team after sandpapergate. But he's far too highly strung and micromanaging. Players got sick of him during the covid bubbles. Also kept Ussie out of the team for 2.5yr after Ussie told him to his face " we're stepping on eggshells around you".
Jesus!! That’s brutal from Chappell, but an honest assessment and an honest opinion!!
and usually he is wrong
When Chappell speaks, I listen
Botham slapped u up in the car park 😂🏴🏴🏴
I don't know who is better, certainly Damien Martin is treat to the eyes! What an elegant stroke maker he was..
For once I agree wholeheartedly with Chappelli. 💯💯💯
Great show. Can’t wait for the first test to start.
Chappelli doesn't miss. Ever.
He missed here a couple of times.
I would really like to see Pucovski get into the Australian test team again. What’s happening with him is concerning though. The concussion problem is worrying and quite bizarre. It’s certainly something I haven’t seen before.
Bowlers have found the weakness of Pucovski. It will be hard for him to break through.
I have to agree, definitely.
I don't know if Pucovski will return. I saw him trying to hook guys off the front foot when he had concussion issues. And he got hit. What is he thinking.
Personally, I think that they should override that and even consider him for the home season coming up. The West Indies and Pakistan at home, would be an ideal opportunity to bring him back at the right time.😊
Mark waugh and langer were good players who got so many chances that they made 7k runs langer .if only martyn and katich had gotten the same chances. Both waugh and langer are two of the top 10-15 australia highest run getters in history.
Mark Waugh was never dropped in his career. As for Langer he reinvented himself and became one of the best openers ever had
Mark Waugh as a fielder himself contributed 1000 runs imo. Best slip of all time🔥
@@nagadolabhuvan5189 Mark Waugh couldn’t be dropped because he was a true all rounder. Incredible fielder, good sometimes great batsmen and a really effective part time bowler.
Langer legend. Martyn underrated and could have batted anywhere. Katich upset Clarke and got dumped. Katich Langer Martyn three great west australians.
@@DD-xw6uw You do understand that Mark Waugh was eventually dropped because of poor form in 2001/2?
What a beautiful series this has been!! Great to watch.
Whatever it is people may not like it but fact is chappeli always speaks his mind and more often then not his analysis is on point
Seems harsh on Langer to me, his methods brought major improvements, seems exactly what England need... bring him in for me... England players will need to suck it up...
5:45 Justin Langer not a Legend? That's too harsh to compare Langer and Martyn because Langer didn't play ODIs like Martyn.
Yes because Langer wasn't good enough to play alot of ODI cricket
Langer was a stroke less genius with a good defence. He couldn't play flamboyant strokes whenever he wanted. But Martyn could.
Ian Chappell has always been a Bitter, Angry, Jealous Man and the older he gets the more Bitter, Angry and Jealous he gets.
best summation of him i have seen
I've never noticed that in his personality. He was respected as a captain. A serious man. A considered man. Yes. But I'm sure you know
Ian chappell is like roy keane of cricket analysis . Entertaining to listen but bit too much cynicism and negativity
Both keep repeating the same things over and over forever
Honesty isnt negativity.
Not a negative bone in his body
Not a bit too much - vastly too much
Chappeli called Green a useful medium pacer... Green is 6'6 and bowls at 140kms, is that how they defined medium pacers back in the 70s?
Jeff Thompson was bowling 170km/hr so yeah 140km/hr is medium relative.
@@killbenjiTV fair call. 140km feels a little pedestrian now
@@killbenjiTV those are called rose tinted memories. I highly doubt Thommo was bowling 170 kph. GIven it was an era without helmets and far less protective kit, batsmen were much more respecting of a geniune pace bowler. They would have indeed seemed "faster" back then given the risk of injury was just more in that era. Thommo was one of the fastest of all time, right up there with Lee and Akhtar. 170 kph? cmon lol
Firstly, his height is irrelevant.
Secondly, he could be described as fast-medium.
Thirdly, the bowlers in the 70's arguably bowled faster than they do today.
Just calm down, keep your powder dry until you have a proper point to make.
Wasn't making a point, Derek. It was a tongue in cheek joke. Lighten up pal.
Ian Chappal is Sunil Gavaskar Of Australian Cricket
They are both bitter old men who are jealous of successful younger players
what a unfair down grading of the great Sunil Gavaskar - vastly superior in all aspects to Ian Chappell
Ian Chappell is always critical of Usman Khawaja ("He's only good against mediocre bowling"; "I'm not convinced. He shouldn't be opening" etc.). And Khawaja keeps proving him wrong.
Just an r sole Chappell
to be fair to chappelli, there is no other decent opener to take his spot. Kuwaja is in middle late 30s now so wont last for ever.
@@BDub2024 he just scored a hundred in England
@@joeljoseph2028 Absolutely. I was watching it. But you've now got Warner and Kuwaja who will both go at the same time. Warner wanted to last for the Ashes series. Now he's saying the last test at the SCG in 8 months time... I think he'll then say he wants to go on some other tour etc... Harris or Bancroft should be there. Renshaw self destructed a bit but had a reasonable summer too.
@@joeljoseph2028 But Kuwaja is good. Always was a very good player but had real weaknesses against the spinning delivery and moving ball. No doubt he's worked very hard and getting reward for effort.
As a opener it's not easy to maintain 45+average till today so Langer is hard foughted and mentally prepared by Steve Waugh main credit goes to Steve Waugh
So opening batsman with Avg of 45 and 23 test centuries isn't a legend?
@@aryavart296 i think he is a legend he puts so much value to the any 11
Of course Langer is a legend. But the thing is that there can be all sorts of legends for all sorts of things. Not best batsman of all time. So not a Bradman or Ponting legend. But averaging 45 at test level and 50 at first class as an opener! That is absolutely world class and legendary. As a lover of the baggy green and as someone that drives standards within the changeroom - absolutely legendary. So a stupid comment by Chappelli. Was Langer important as coach after the debacle of sandpapergate and the Lehmann years. His lifting of standards, stopping the sledging and bat sportsman like behaviour was absolutely legendary. He took control of the tean on and of the field. Obviously, over time the players wanted him to follow a more traditional coaching role and the captains wanted to seize back control of the team. Ok. But lets not underestimate the legendary work he did in changing the culture of the team.
Langer wouldn't let Australia bowl and bat like they have in England. Australia would be much more aggressive in both areas. Has the current coach had input into how they play. Langer was a good bat and important to the team. I think the team needs a hard task master not someone who is their friend.
Ian Chappell on Langer 5:10
Could be wrong but think JL made more test runs than Ian, like over 1500 more runs
Who played more matches, different eras, different pitches and he fkng captained the side
@@HamaraBharatvarsh So opening batsman with Avg of 45 and 23 test centuries isn't a legend?
@@HamaraBharatvarsh Langer made more runs and a higher average than Chappell, won more matches too. way more. Not to mention Chappell drew nearly half of the tests he captained. He would rubbish his own records if he was playing today.
@@aryavart296correct
Chappell is damn right❤
Chappell praising damien martyn ❤
Langer knew what he was doing when he retired. Chappelli is right. Make no mistake, JL has always wanted to be held in the highest esteem as a champion. Well known fact in WA cricket circles
Absolute bollocks!! if you didnt like the bloke just say so Chappelli! JL scored more test runs than you, played more games than you, and had a better average than yours. Hes Australia's 8th highest test run scorer of all time! If hes not a legend, then neither are you sir!
Chappell is a legendary captain perhaps; player, no. Just good. Langer is not an Aussie legend. Too many players averaging 50+. But a top, top player whom Chappell was disrespectful.
Nonsense. You are just reading stat's. Chapells opinion has nothing to do with liking or not liking. You havnt a clue.
@@frankford1115
There was no disrespect whatsoever. Plainly stated and spot on
Ian Chappell is a highly opiniated person, I don't take him seriorusly at all because he has personal likes and dislikes. Justin Langer played more innings under crisis than Ian Chappell. Ian Chappell was a very good captain but not a great player. He was exposed in South Africa when SA had very good bowlers, his average is pathetic when SA was at its pomp.
Chappelli was a star. But you can't underestimate anyone averaging 45 as an opener. Langer.
Matthew Hayden legend, Justin langer legend
yes I would add Shane Warne and Don Bradman and draw the line there for Australian legends that I am aware of (there may be more pre-WW2). I don't think Ian or Greg Chappell are legends although they were both bloody good cricketers.
@@baird55aus its a bit stiff calling hayden a legend but not langer because hayden and langer combined were an all time great opening partnership.
Amen, Preach it Pastor Ben.
If Chappell had his way, the australian cricket team players would run Cricket Australia. No limits in Chappell's eyes.
I don't think so. Cricket Australia is the organisational body. The team is separate to that. I don't get your point
and that would be a disaster....lets have no coach...just let the players decide what to do
Chappell hates coaches..he thinks players can look after the team by themselves...Great teams in sports have great coaches
"Damien Martin was (in Ian's opinion), twice as good a player as Justin Langer.
IMO, Greg Chappell was twice as good a player as Ian Chappell.
Thankfully for Ian, Trevor made him look good.
What a stupid comment
Ian Chappell don't know how to respect the Justin Langer who is finest Australian coach I have ever seen
The more I hear Chappell, the less I want to hear him.
Ian Chappell always thought he better than everyone else.
FIGJAM expert
"You ring Shane Warne."
:'(
Chappelli is being a bit harsh on his estimation of JL as a player. His numbers speak for themselves. Was he an all time great? No. Was he pretty good? Yes. If he was playing today given the sorry state of test cricket he’d easily be the best or top 3 for openers.
Come on Ian Chappell. It's fair to say Langer is not in the class of Warne and McGrath (who is really?), I am also big Damien Martyn fan and rates him over Langer. But to say he was twice the player that Langer was is a bit much. It strayed from opinion to attack as that's simply not true.
Agree With Ian Chappell, Damian Martin was much better than Langer. Hayden is away too head than Langer.
Just watch the highlights of the test matches between 1999 and 2007. Langer often outscored Hayden, and was a better player under pressure. Hayden was very boring when he was out of form. I can remember so many innings when he scored 10-15 runs out of 60 balls, hitting and missing, and eventually getting out. But people only remember the good times.
He was part of productive partnership
Lol, Damien Martyn's 13 career tons, later getting to come in after getting to come in after Langer, Hayden, Prime Ponting or Langers 23 tons against the the new ball with 3 double hundreds.
Martyn did not get the same level of chances a lot of the other players. Honestly you can't really compare without considering other variables. They are different style of players
Whether you agree or think chappells talking crap,you have to listen & respect his opinion because of his worldwide standing in the game=England fan
Ian Chappell is the smartest guy in Australia 😅
I will say that Langer made more runs than Chappell because he played in an era where more games were played. Langer couldn’t get in the team until Michael Slater’s form dipped alarmingly. He took his chance though so fair play to him. He was a very good player but I wouldn’t have said he was world class. Certainly compared to Hayden and Ponting for example.
Totally agree. But he was world class . But no legend
@@chrisbuesnell3428 agreed.
Agree but Hayden was fortunate imo too. He struggled in the harder era
@@chrisbuesnell3428 So opening batsman with Avg of 45 and 23 test centuries isn't a legend?
Slater's form didn't dip alarmingly. His frame of mind did and Waugh bit the bullet and did the change. There isn't a massive difference between Hayden and Langer to be fair. Langer averaged 45 and Hayden 50. Both are outstanding as openers. Anything above 40 as an opener is very very good really.
If ian chappel makes a comment on Australian cricket or a trainers ability he is always right
He said Usman was hopeless when he was re-picked for Australia and told us Mitchell Starc wasn''t up scratch - "when I was captain"- who cares FIGJAM
He didn't mention the second greatest spinner of all time behind Warne, Abdul Qadir.
Plenty of spinners are among Warne Level
Bosenquent the guy who invented googly and
Claire grimmet before rest show up
@@aniket385 Grimmett was nowhere near Warne, O'Reilly or Qadir..............Grimmett is in the Tim May level.
Murli
@@aranyaism No Abdul Qadir. Warne and Qadir are the best 2 spinners of all time.
If only martyn,katich and hussey played as many tests as mark waugh and langer ,they would've scored so many more runs .
What an era, where on a good day Australia A were the best team in the world
Martyn and Hussey were way more flamboyant than Katich, but all three good players. Katich dropped out of side due to Michael Clarke's politics. Clarke was the founder of woke Australia.
Why was the Host laughing watching the pitch ? Change attitude brother.
And now you want to bag out one of our countries best servants of the game? F me why aren't you better than that and standing up for him?
Thanks for proving again that you are a true f wit.
Steve, Brisbane.
He wasn't bagged.
Why belittle people? Is it a Chappelian fsmily trait?
If Greg or Ian chapel says someone is good or greatness than that is the gospel truth
Great stuff, an underarm for you
I miss chappels commentary
Ian Chappell is a great commentator and is always upfront and honest. Langer was may be a good and useful kind of cricketer but definitely not a legendary figure and was an average coach for sure. His contribution to the T20 WC win or other major wins at the end were minimal and it was only the team that did it.
Chappell says a coach is not required because Chappell was the greatest captain of all time. Warne parrots Chappell. However, would Warne have injured his shoulder practising bowling 1000 wrong-uns if a coach was there to contribute. Probably the greatest bowler of all time up to that point, still a great bowler on recovery but not quite the same
Does Ian Chappell have anything nice to say about anybody?
Ian Chappell is and always has been NSW faction. They ran cricket for ages. Qld was never let in. Hayden and Langer had a bond where Hayden stuck around for way too long, and Langer was his buddy. Neither were legends, while i agree with that, Ians comments are more about the heirachy of cricket and its NSW bias...thats why tubby got to play on as captain despite getting out for 1s about 200 times in a row.
That's an odd assumption given he was South Australian and the captain/selector who dropped Doug Walters from the 1972 test match against England meaning Australia went into the match with no NSW player's in the team.
For all his positives, every now & then he just doesn't like someone who was a better player than him, scored more runs than him & was in a more successful side than him. Put the lemons down Chappelli & stop looking for reasons to be sour.
Ian Chappell you have been the most part critical, hyoocrital, negative,.. In your own mind only your time ever existed, disliked with a passion commentator ever.
Steve, Brisbane.
I'd rather watch Damien Martyn bat over Langer. But I think Langer had a better career.
Ian Chappell the HAS BEEN who NEVER WAS.
He was a star to be fair. But comment on Langer is unfair. No other cricketer in the world is as good as Warne and McGrath. So why say it, except as an unnecessary put down.
Ha ha. Play video games mate
Chappell likes the sound of his own voice I think.
Langer no legend. Surprised only Ian speaks the truth in Australia, everyone else is living on mateship seeing through rose tinted glasses.
If damien martyn had got the same chance as langer . He would've been 10k club member . That is how good he was
Nope.
@@bobdown5520 yep
Sorry but no. Marto was a good batsman but he would not have reached those heights.
@@Mustardonmyjeans Martin had elegance and pure timing if he was giving the chance yes he would have
@@danielkelly4487 maybe, just think he would have been a Mark Waugh not a Steve Waugh.
Ian really? Justin was the best coach we have ever had next to Bobby Simpson
I agree with Ian Chappell, Warne and McGrath were way above Langer.
I have no time for Ponting after the way he treated Shane Warne at the 2003 World Cup, treating Warne like he was guilty.
Steve Waugh is the best Aust Captain I've ever seen.
Also the Australian selectors need to be replaced.
Have one selector from each state so that the selection process is unbiased.
That way QLD & NSW will no longer have a corrupt effect on the national team.
Bruh did you just compare a spinner and a pacer with an opening bat😂
@@aryavart296 I said Warne and McGrath were way better players than Langer.
Which they were.
Langer was a loudmouthed little maggot.
Hayden was also a bigmouthed sledger.
Much like B Lee, Haddin (Cheater also), Gillespie, McGrath, Mitchell Johnson......all loudmouthed maggots who displayed disgraceful sportmanship or lack of it.
Stats speak… and they show that Justin was a legend… poor Ian according to you all those years all the selectors were moron to give the chance to play 105 tests to a ordinary player in great Australia team??
He used to have a point of view - and a valuable one at that - but now he's just a grumpy, old curmudgeon spouting negativity at each juncture. Shame, really
Yes, he is a cynical and boring old fart.
He is one of the only people with the balls to speak his mind in what is a sheep-like sport media landscape in Australia. Everybody agrees with Ponting, Gilchrist, Hayden because they are legends; they don't bother to consider both sides of the story.
@@jacquesdelyons3516 but that's my point. He used to have an INCREDIBLY valuable POV but when he "speaks his mind" these days, it's less insightful and prone to reactive negativity. I miss 1980s Chappelli, one of the most important voices in the game. Also, he's a giant and a brilliant advocate in areas beyond cricket- I'm not having a go.
What in your view was negative ?
I'm not sure that Ian Chappell's opinion really counts for very much. An angry and bitter man who holds petty grudges which cloud his judgement.
Langer was a legend...he wnt the best in the team but neither was Chappelli
Ian Chappell says Langer wasn't a legend. He generally speaks rubbish and he's done it again.
he's an old fashioned straight shooter, no BS type of guy. Just like Boycott and Holding. I dont agree with everything he says, but i respect his honesty
Cam Green is not a medium pacer 😃
