-
On the infamous underarm ball: Trevor Chappell recalls his infamous
underarm ball in a one-dayer against New Zealand some 19 years ago. He

Brother Greg didn't trust him to close out the game from that
situation. And also whether he has any regrets over the affair.

On the need for specialised field positions: Chappell discusses whether fielders should be encouraged to specialise in a particular position or primed to adjust to the demands of any position in the field.

On the best fielder in Sri Lankan team: Chappell is in the ideal
position to be able to decide who are the best fielders in the Sri
Lankan team. "Murali keeps telling me he's the best fielder in the
team and wants me to agree with him all the time", says Chappell. Here
are his assessments of the fielding abilities of virtually the entire
Sri Lankan team.
