On Ashes Eve #2 and with Ian Chappell trending it seems a good time to share this clip about his thoughts on captaincy. The original aggressive captain. Check out the full interview with Chappelli on Once Upon a Time in the Ashes - wherever you get your podcasts.

While he was an absolute gent off the pitch, Shane could be a real bastard on it.

🎅🎄🏏🎙️A festive treat from the archives for our final window! Ian Chappell's first Test as captain was an eventful affair. 7th Test, 1970-71 Ashes. Terry Jenner felled by a Snow bouncer. Snow pelted with bottles. Ray Illingworth takes his team off in protest. 🎅🎄🏏🎙️

🎅🎄🏏🎙️The penultimate day of our Once Ashes Advent Calendar and good to see Dave Gilbert behind window 23. He was outstanding company earlier this year. And he is another that can count himself unlucky to be a one Ashes Test wonder. 🎅🎄🏏🎙️

🎅🎄🏏🎙️Jonathan Agnew should never have been a one Ashes Test wonder as he was initially selected by @David215Gower for the 6th and final Test of the 1989 Ashes. But a certain Alan Igglesden ended up playing. Aggers is behind window 20 with the story. 🎅🎄🏏🎙️

🎅🎄🏏🎙️Not too many windows left on our Once Ashes Advent Calendar and behind #18 is Jo Angel. Run-out ('barbecued') in both innings of the 5th Test at the WACA in 1995, he also had a dolly of a chance to dismiss Graham Gooch in Goochie's final Test match.🎅🎄🏏🎙️

🎅🎄🏏🎙️Dave Gilbert had to wait until the final Test of the 1985 series to play his one and only Ashes Test. And there was inconsistency in the selection process as Allan Border and Greg Chappell left him not knowing if he was Arthur or Martha (Dave's beaut of a phrase!)🎅🎄🏏🎙️
