Ian Chappel's jinxes

[vvvslaxman]

We all know what a great jinxer is Ian is. Other day.. in the Afghanistan vs India match he started saying "What i like about this afghanistan players is they play normal cricketing shots. They don't try fancy shots".. As soon as he finished the sentence the batsman attempted 2 reverse sweep shots. :haha: Only one thing he couldn't jinx was Pakistan's performance against Aussies

Was it Bhogle who mocked Ian? He said something like 'and what were you saying, Ian?" Jokes apart, Afghans were raw and didn't look like the class of BD even. They still have a long way to go and need more intl exposure.

The biggest jinx yet by Ian Chappell is the one against Australia when South Africa chased 414 in Perth. IIRC, he had an article a day before praising Australia as the next best thing after Christ.
