Ashes legends in post-match altercation

Yahoo!7 December 7, 2010, 5:37 pm

Ashes legends Ian Chappell and Ian Botham have been involved in an altercation outside the Adelaide Oval according to reports.

The Sydney Morning Herald reports Botham reacted angrily as Chappell directed a jibe at him follow Australia's crushing second Test defeat at the hands of England.

The knighted Englishman and Chappell had to be separated after clashing in the Adelaide Oval car park.

"It could have got very nasty if there hadn't been people on hand to keep them apart," said a Channel Nine source who spoke to English newspaper The Mail.

Ill-feeling has existed between the pair since 1977 when they clashed at a pub after words were exchanged.

Botham's behaviour many years ago on that Perth flight, shows his drinking Problems. Just another "Pom" whose Ego CLOUDS his Pea BRAIN!

Hey James I myself think the selectors should have a look at themselves and hand the job to a younger group of selectors and the Ian Chappel jibe should be dislined.

Why dont we give Chapelli a spot on th Autralian team. He has obviously got more fight in him than the tired old lot that batted today.
