What's your favourite moment from the great man?" Channel Nine's Wide World of Sports posed this question to Twitter users as a promotion for their documentary, A Glorious Life: Ian Chappell.

Live Cricket Director (that's how he describes himself on social media) Hemant Buch was moved to respond: "Once in SL [Sri Lanka], the local crew invited the rest of the crew to a party. Chappelli [Ian's nickname] was the only commentator who turned up. He asked me, 'Who's paying for all this?' The local crew, I told him. 'They don't earn that much,' he said. 'Here's something from me,' and handed me 300 USD."
