Greg Chappell’s Not Out: Selector, Commentator, Coach, Talent Scout, Mentor, Cricket Legend is in now
A hardback, it includes 280 pages

Even into his 70s, Greg remains a force, his opinion and keen eye for talent valued and trusted by those who count.
Like Don Bradman, much of his best off-field work is unsung, especially in coaching and mentoring areas.

Chappell also unveils a blueprint in fast-tracking an Australian cricket revival, arguing forcefully that the game has drifted too far from the type of lean, hungry system that helped to take the national team to the top.
Having lost five series in a row under current head coach Justin Langer, Chappell’s thoughts are topical and typically on the mark.
We have seen only early proofs, but it’s good.
