What Chappelli era batsman was told he was dropped during a Test match and blazed a second inning century after Chappelli promoted him up the order and told him to "go out there and show the bastards."?

John Benaud - brother of Richie - who blazed 142 in the second innings of the 2nd Test against Pakistan at Melbourne in 1972-3 ... a kid from Bankstown by the name of Thomson debuted in the same game, took 0-110 and the press marked him "never play again".
