Trevor Martin Chappell (born 12 October 1952, Glenelg, South Australia) is a former Australian cricketer, a member of the South Australian Chappell family which excelled at cricket. He played 3 tests and 20 One Day Internationals for Australia, in which his batting was lacklustre but his bowling was strong enough to make him a bowling all-rounder for Australia. His career was overshadowed, however, by an incident in 1981 in which he bowled an underarm delivery to New Zealand cricketer Brian McKechnie to stop the batsman from hitting a six. After retiring from first class cricket in 1986, Chappell went on to coach the Bangladesh cricket team and became a fielding coach for the Sri Lankan cricket team. He is currently the national coach of the Singapore Cricket Team. ==Early life== Chappell was the youngest of the Chappell cricketing brothers. He attended Prince Alfred College and was a schoolboy cricketer, meeting the high standards set for him by his brothers Ian Chappell and Greg Chappell, and their grandfather, former Australian test captain of the 1930s Victor Richardson.〔 His childhood hero was Keith Miller.〔("Lost at Lord's, pasted by Viv: Trevor Chappell on being hit through the sightscreen and other delights", Interview by Vishal Dikshit ''Cricinfo'' 9 November 2013 ) accessed 10 November 2013〕 Chappell grew up playing cricket in the backyard with his brothers and like them was coached by Lynn Foster.〔("'People probably wouldn't remember me if not for the underarm incident'The youngest of the Chappell brothers talks about growing up in a cricketing household, how baseball and football helped his fielding, and coaching youngsters" Interview by Vishal Dikshit ''Cricinfo'' June 6, 2014 ) accessed 7 June 2014〕 Over the summer of 1969/70 he toured the West Indies with the Australian Schoolboys XI, a team that also included Gary Gilmour, Gary Cosier and Ian Davis.〔(Australian Schoolboys in West Indies 1969–70 ) at Cricket Archive〕 At this stage Chappell was a batsman, although his excellent fielding at cover also brought him attention. "I figured the cover region was the area where the ball went more often than not, so I thought it was a good spot to field," he later said. "It keeps you occupied and always in the game."〔 During the tour he came down with chicken pox. He recovered to score 52 against St Kitts. Chappell also played for South Australia in the Australian Schoolboys Cricket Council Championships in Sydney. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Trevor Chappell」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
