Le Chappell is now Chapple

Not one to follow cricket actively, the magnetism of typos seems to have attracted me to this news item on Aus-NZ match.


Or, have I, in my busy world, forgotten to read a news item on Le Chappell changing his name to 'Chapple' (see pic above) on numerological grounds? Or, is 'Chapple' a portmanteau of something I am too dense to figure out?
