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.
Chappell debuted for South Australia in the 1972-73 season, but in 1976 he changed to Western Australia before finally settling with New South Wales in 1979. He played his best cricket with New South Wales and a 150 against Western Australia led to his selection in the Ashes series of 1981.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Death is the end of life; ah, why
Should life all labor be?”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
