Not Out is Greg Chappell’s most comprehensive and reflective work, extending well beyond autobiography into cricket governance, leadership, ethics, and the future of the game. Written after decades as a player, selector, captain, coach, administrator, and commentator, it presents Chappell’s considered view of cricket as both a sport and an institution.
 
The book addresses:
His playing career with Australia and leadership philosophy
The India coaching period and its long-term implications
Talent identification and elite player development
Cricket Australia’s structures and decision-making
The Cape Town ball-tampering scandal and its fallout
Cultural standards, accountability, and reform in modern cricket
 
Unlike earlier memoirs, Not Out is strategic, analytical, and unapologetically opinionated, positioning Chappell as a senior statesman of the game rather than a nostalgic raconteur.
 
Greg Chappell is one of the most influential—and debated—figures in Australian cricket history. This volume consolidates his legacy not just as a champion batsman and former captain, but as a shaper of cricket policy and philosophy across multiple eras.
