Very few batsmen in the history of Test cricket have played fast bowling as well as Chappell. His 24 centuries and 7110 runs in 87 Tests at an average of 53.9 remain a testimony to his enviable batting prowess. He also made 31 half-centuries.

He was one of the best middle-order batsmen in the world during his prime. His stupendous batting against the much-vaunted West Indian pace attack was an inspiration to many of his teammates.
Chappell had an erect batting stance and played glorious flicks, pull and cuts. He was particularly strong off his legs and an excellent timer of the ball. He also could score very quickly when needed and won a few matches for Australia with his exceptional batting abilities.
Chappell was a useful medium-pace bowler and a great fielder too. He definitely deserves his place in this all-time eleven as there have not been too many Australian batsmen like him.
