Australian cricket icon Greg Chappell has fallen upon sad times and friends and teammates are desperately trying to help. The former Australian captain has organised a GoFundMe page which, at the time of writing, had raised over $74,000 in a bid to hit a $250,000 goal. That total included a $25,000 donation from high-profile businessman and cricket fan Greg Boorer.
He played alongside Dennis Lillee, Rod Marsh, and Jeff Thomson during a glittering era for the sport. And he is the brother of Ian and Trevor Chappell, somewhat of a royal family in Australia’s rich sporting history. But many of the stars of their time did not make much money from cricket. And, unlike brother Ian, Greg kept a low profile after he retired and never really embraced full-time commentary roles or the media spotlight. “I’m not on the bones of my arse,” Greg Chappell said.
