chappell's aggressive approach suited limited-overs cricket: he scored his runs at a strike-rate of 77 runs per hundred balls. the timing of his career limited him to 16 odi matches, but he appeared in a number of historic fixtures such as the first odi (at the mcg in 1971), the first world cup final (at lord's in 1975) and the first day/night match (during wsc, at vfl park in 1978). he passed fifty in half of his innings with a top score of 86 at christchurch in 1973–74. in his final season of international cricket, he scored 63 not out (from 65 balls) against the west indies at the scg to win the player of the match award; five days later he hit an unbeaten 60 from 50 balls in his penultimate odi appearance, against england. as captain, he recorded six wins and five losses from 11 matches. he is also credited to have hit the first ever six in an odi match (which is in fact the first odi match ever played).
