Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery: Nov 20

Driving home this week on Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery is legendary cricketer Ian Chappell.

Ian Chappell, one of the most important figures of modern cricket, takes Julia back to Adelaide to the yard he and his brothers Greg and Trevor spent uncountable hours practicing the skills that got them selected to represent Australia.

Then it’s off in a classic burnt orange Chrysler Valiant to the local Glenelg Baseball Club, where Ian also made it to represent his country. He won a sports scholarship to the prestigious Prince Alfred College where he reveals that he was in the school choir and ignored his First XI coaches’ advice that “not much is gained in anger”.

Ian tells Julia of his tricky dealings with another famous Adelaide legend, Don Bradman, who he found vindictive and unlikeable.

8pm Wednesday on ABC.
