Cricket legend <keyword id="74016" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="greg-chappell" source="Orion">Greg Chappell</keyword> has revealed going through a financial struggle with his friends pitching in to set up an online fundraising platform to "enhance his last few years", according to a report. The 75-year-old former Australia captain, who also had a controversial stint as the head coach of the Indian team from 2005-2007, admitted that he is doing fine but is certainly not living a life of luxury as a result of his cricketing career. "I'm not on the bones of my a**e," <keyword id="39928" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="chappell" source="Orion">Chappell</keyword> told News Corp. "I certainly don't want it to sound like we're in desperate straits, because we're not - but we're not living in luxury either. I think most people assume that, because we played cricket, that we are all living in the lap of luxury. While I'm certainly not crying poor, we're not reaping in the benefits that today's players are," he said. According to the report, Chappell "reluctantly" agreed to a GoFundMe page being set up for him, along with a testimonial lunch held at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) last week - hosted by <keyword id="1698935" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="eddie-mcguire" source="Orion">Eddie McGuire</keyword> and attended by cricket greats, including brothers Ian and Trevor. Chappell further said he is not the only player from his era who experienced financial difficulties, even though the landscape of professional cricket has come a long way since his retirement. "It is just my friends who realised that we didn't get a lot and just to make sure that Judy and I were comfortable in our retirement," Chappell said. "To be fair, there are others of our era who are in more dire circumstances that could do with the help and I don't think the game has done enough for players of that era. Particularly in relation to the comparison with today's era." "I believe the players that set the scene for what's happening today, should probably be recognised for the role they played in getting the game to where it is today," Chappell added. Pacer Dennis Lillee, wicketkeeper <keyword id="553086" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="rod-marsh" source="Orion">Rod Marsh</keyword>, and Chappell were part of an iconic trio that defected to Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket in the late 1970s. But unlike Lillee and Marsh, Chappell didn't receive a fundraising testimonial at the end of his career to help set him up after retiring from cricket. A report in news.com.au quotes Chappell's friends saying that he is doing it tougher than an Australian sporting legend ever should. "Greg is a very proud man. He's doing it tougher than what he says," Chappell's friend <keyword id="19275796" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="peter-maloney" source="Orion">Peter Maloney</keyword> said. The Australian great also runs the Chappell Foundation, which raises funds for homelessness charities. But the foundation makes sure every cent is distributed each year and Chappell doesn't keep any money for himself. "The Chappell Foundation is run by Darshak Mehta and 100 per cent of the money that is raised gets distributed," Maloney said. "They distribute it annually so at the end of each year, they don't leave any money and they're starting afresh." "If you put your name to a foundation you're entitled to take some money out of it. But Greg hasn't taken a cent out of it, even though he could have. "I guess that was the irony that he was the face of it and turning up to every function and he's raising all this money while he didn't have a hell of a lot himself. "Put it this way, we will probably end up raising about $250,000 out of it, and it will significantly enhance his last few years," Maloney added. Chappell scored 24 centuries across 87 Tests during the 1970s and 80s and led Australia 48 times. He retired from Tests in January 1984 ass the highest run-getter (7110) in Australian Test history, surpassing Sir Donald Bradman's record of 6996 runs.

Legendary Australian cricketer Shane Warne dies suddenly at 52 of a suspected heart attack

Police confirmed that the 46-year-old died at the scene of the mishap. "Early information indicates, shortly after 11 p.m. (Australian time) the car was being driven on Hervey Range Road, near Alice River Bridge when it left the roadway and rolled," the police statement said. "Emergency services attempted to revive the 46-year-old driver and sole occupant. However, he died of his injuries. The Forensic Crash Unit is investigating." Symonds averaged 40.61 with the bat from 26 Tests for his country, but was perhaps best known for his exploits in white-ball cricket. He featured in 198 ODIs -- scoring six centuries and 30 half-centuries -- while also contributing 133 wickets with his handy off-spin and gentle medium pace. It was at the 2003 World Cup where Symonds burst on to the stage with perhaps his greatest innings, as he smashed Pakistan with an unbeaten 143 in Johannesburg early in the event and helped Australia remain unbeaten and defeat India in a one-sided final. The stocky right-hander was also part of the victorious World Cup side at the 2007 World Cup in the West Indies as Australia claimed their fourth 50-over World Cup title. Symonds also played 14 T20I for Australia, managing 337 runs and eight wickets. His death is the second famous Australia cricketer to tragically pass away in 2022, after champion leg-spinner Shane Warne died from a heart-attack in Thailand in March. Former wicketkeeper Rod Marsh also passed away from a heart attack earlier this year. Cricket Australia chair, Lachlan Henderson, was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au that, "Australian cricket has lost another of its very best. Andrew was a generational talent who was instrumental in Australia's success at World Cups and as part of Queensland's rich cricket history. He was a cult figure to many who was treasured by his fans and friends. "On behalf of Australian cricket our deepest sympathies are with Andrew's family, team-mates, and friends." In the 26 Tests he played for Australia, Symonds scored 1,462 runs at 40.61 and picked up 24 wickets. He scored a superb unbeaten 162 against India in the 2008 Sydney Test, which helped the hosts to a 122-run victory. However, the match ended in controversy over the 'Monkeygate scandal'. The all-rounder accused India spinner Harbhajan Singh of calling him a "monkey", which triggering a verbal confrontation between the two teams and India threatened to cancel the tour after Harbhajan was initially suspended for three matches. But, it was white-ball cricket that was Symond's forte. Affectionately called 'Roy', the hard-hitter played 198 ODIs, scoring 5,088 runs and taking 133 wickets. Symonds was born in Birmingham but shifted base to Australia with his adoptive parents, according to cricket.com.au. He became an integral part of Australia's Word Cup-winning campaigns in 2003 and 2007, with both bat and ball. His 143 against the Wasim Akram-led Pakistan in Australia's opening match of the 2003 edition in Johannesburg was where Symonds announced his arrival on the international scene. The right-handed batter's match-winning knock came off just 125 deliveries and was embellished with 18 fours and two maximums. In the last-four clash against Sri Lanka, Symonds came at a time when Australia were struggling on 3/53. The champion all-rounder went on to score an unbeaten 91 to help the defending champions finally manage 212/7, which turned out to be the winning total in a rain-affected match. During the 2007 World Cup, Australia cruised through the pool games, easily defeating Sri Lanka in the decider in Barbados. He finished his twin World Cup campaigns averaging 103, and a strike rate of 93.29. "I think it's the fear factor he puts into the opposition because he can clear the boundary on a regular basis," former Australian captain Ian Chappell had said of Symonds. "He is going to create some run outs for you. He'll take a blinding catch and he has been very, very tidy with the ball now for a long time," Chappell had said. Queensland Cricket Chair Chris Simpson said the cricket community was devastated by Symonds' death. "On behalf of Queensland Cricket, we express our deepest sympathies to his family and will do whatever we can to assist them," he said to the website. "It is a shattering loss to those nearest to him, and his wide circle of friends which extend to all corners of the cricketing world. "His untimely passing will also resonate deeply with the many fans who thrilled to his efforts with bat, ball and in the field. He stood out for his skill, courage and determination, and the fans who saw him at his best will never forget his impact on a game. "We are all hurting and will miss him greatly. His former teammates will remember his loyalty to the playing group and recall the fun times with great fondness, and sorrow that he is gone. "He loved Queensland and its outdoor lifestyle and valued and respected the opportunities he had as a youngster growing up in North Queensland that enabled him to go onto represent his state and country." In recent years, Symonds did commentary in the Big Bash League.
