Former Australian captain Greg Chappell says Tim Paine's abuse towards the umpire and Indian star Ravi Ashwin during the SCG Test displayed a "weakness of character.", while also coming under the microscope for having a nasty verbal battle with Ashwin on the final day of play.criticismChappell, who made his debut in 1970 and played 87 Tests for Australia, touched on the infamous "underarm" incident in an open letter penned to Paine.
Chappell said his actions should be a "lesson to us all" and conceded he "failed" to "maintain equilibrium and equanimity in the face of changing and challenging circumstances." "Abuse is not acceptable in any workplace and talk, in my opinion, is cheap. It does not show one's strength. Rather, it displays a weakness of character," Chappell wrote in the"I urge you to impress on the team to let the bat and ball do the talking and set better examples to millions of impressionable little boys and girls
A bit like bowling a ball underarm....?
Coming from the worst captain EVER The underarm ball is still the worst display of sportsmanship and embarrassment for Australia in cricket history.Keep going the way you are Tim Payne I personally am a huge fan of you.Congratulations on making the Aussies a team to be proud of
But stand over tactics ordering your younger brother to bowl underarm is that of a strong leader pffft🙄

Tim Paine
Ffs! Take it easy, he hasn't put a foot wrong since taking over a shot box set of circumstances a few years back. Should have not even been aired!
From the under-armer? But rich, Greg.
Yes a weakness that leaves him not the best option for captaining Australia
Wow, I didn't think it was 'brutal'. He was harder on himself than Paine I thought.
How does underarm bowling rank on the character index?
If anyone knows about weak character it's Chappell
