Greg Chappell played 87 Tests for Australia, 48 as Captain and surpassed Sir Donald Bradman as the highest run scorer in Australian Test cricket history. The record was set in his final Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, a match that would also see Greg break the world record for most Test catches by a fieldsman.

Greg during his career set some new standards. He scored the highest number of runs in a single Test match (380) and his four double centuries is second only in Australian cricket to Sir Donald Bradman and since WWII was the only player to score a century before the lunch break in a Test match. Greg is the only Australian to score a century in each innings of a Test match on two occasions and the only player to make a century in each innings of his first Test as Captain. He is also the only player to score a century in his first and last innings.

Greg has received some tremendous accolades over the years. These include being appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1979, inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1996, names in the Test Team of the Century in 2000, inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2002 and was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 2021.

Post retirement, Greg has been a board member of Cricket Australia and Queensland Cricket. He served as a national selector for three years. Greg is currently the State Manager of Cricket for the South Australian Cricket Association developing elite talent and coaching the Southern Redbacks. Greg is a patron and board member of the Leukemia Foundation of South Australia.
