Former Australia captain Greg Chappell criticized both Australia and England for their performance in the recent Ashes Test at the MCG, citing a lack of resilience on a challenging pitch. Chappell argued that batters from both sides displayed a lack of character and failed to adapt to difficult conditions, instead reacting with frustration. He suggested that elite players should be able to grind out runs and survive tough situations, emphasizing that Test cricket demands endurance and respect for the game's history, not instant gratification.
