Trevor Chappell is the younger brother of three who played cricket for Australia, and only brother not to captain his country. Ian was the first brother to captain Australia - Greg was the second. Perhaps their most famous connection to cricketing history is the fact that all three brothers are the grandson's of Victor Richardson (played for Australia during the bodyline saga).

 

He only played for Australia three times and only scored 79 runs at 15.80. He never had the same talent that his brothers possessed and had to struggle firstly to Sheffield Shield status and then on to Test level. He was picked to tour England in 1981 after a good Shield Season in 1980/81. Unfortunately for him, he played in the first 3 Test matches and failed with the bat. He was never picked for Australia again and during the Ashes tour, had to take a back seat position and watch his side loose the Ashes. On his return home he was left out of the home Test Series and continued with his Sheffield Shield cricket. No other family has produced three brothers who have all played cricket for Australia.
