Editing Ian Chappell (section)

====Steve Waugh====
Ian Chappell was often critical of [[Steve Waugh]] as captain, believing him to be a selfish player and unimaginative captain. When Waugh was appointed captain in 1999 Chappell said:
<blockquote>I think he's been a selfish cricketer . . . I've always felt that the things you do as a player leading up to getting the captaincy do have an effect [on] how players perceive you. I've had the feeling that a selfish player when he becomes captain . . . gets a little less out of his players than someone who is not selfish.<ref>[http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/09/1052280443839.html "Old boys still cool on the Iceman"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140713180549/http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/05/09/1052280443839.html |date=13 July 2014 }}, ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 10 May 2003, accessed 16 March 2014</ref></blockquote>
Chappell felt [[Shane Warne]] should have been picked as captain instead and his criticism of Waugh's captaincy did not abate during Waugh's stint in that role, despite his success. Waugh later wrote of Chappell:
<blockquote>Ian Chappell ... always sweated on my blunders and reported them with an 'I told you so' mentality{{nbsp}}... To say Chappell's criticism irked me would be an understatement, though I knew that, like anyone, he was entitled to an opinion. I don't mind the fact he criticised me — in fact, I would much rather someone make a judgement than not, but I have always felt that a critic must be either constructive or base his comments on fact{{nbsp}}... It was something I had to live with, and when I realised he was never going to cut me much slack, I decided anything he said that was positive would be a bonus and the rest just cast aside.<ref>Will Swanton, [http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/waugh-betrayed-in-caribbean/2005/10/22/1129775998450.html "Waugh 'betrayed' in Caribbean"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240711030638/https://www.theage.com.au/sport/cricket/waugh-betrayed-in-caribbean-20051023-ge13p4.html |date=11 July 2024 }}, ''The Age'', 23 October 2005, accessed 16 March 2014</ref></blockquote>
Chappell rated [[Ricky Ponting]] a better captain than Waugh.<ref>[http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/459502.html "Ian Chappell rates Ponting higher than Waugh"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140613233616/http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/story/459502.html |date=13 June 2014 }}, ''Cricinfo'', 13 May 2010, accessed 16 March 2014</ref>
