Greg Chappell’s baggy green has gone missing, though the former Australia captain is not sure if it has been stolen.
Speaking to a podcast, Chappell, 76, revealed that he had kept the cap in storage for 10 years but could not find it when he cleared it out before moving to Adelaide.
“We had stuff in storage for about 10 years or so, and when we moved back to Adelaide, we brought everything out of storage and I was expecting to find that baggy green cap, but it didn’t appear,” Chappell told the Cricket Et Al podcast.
“I don’t know what happened to it. I wouldn’t like to cast aspersions, but it went into storage, but it doesn’t seem to have come out.
“I don’t surround myself with my cricket memorabilia… (but) I’m a little bit
disappointed.”
Chappell actually had more than one baggy green in his possession. He had gifted one to England’s Geoffrey Boycott which was auctioned for $15,000 four years ago.
Last year, David Warner could not find his baggy green and put out a video pleading for the cap to be returned. The cap, which was considered to be misplaced and not stolen, was rediscovered during the New Year Test against South Africa in Sydney.
