Chappell had a direct influence on Hughes' successor, [[Allan Border]].

Chappell believed that the Border-Simpson leadership was too defensive and that Simpson usurped too much of Border's control of the team; Border heeded Chappell's assessment and adopted a more aggressive on-field approach later in his career and became known as "Captain Grumpy" to his teammates.<ref>[http://www.theage.com.au/news/Cricket/Savour-dominance-Border/2005/01/08/1104832358959.html Savour dominance — Border] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060528034156/http://www.theage.com.au/news/Cricket/Savour-dominance-Border/2005/01/08/1104832358959.html |date=28 May 2006 }} ''The Age''.
