He passed away less than 3 hours ago.

Poor bloke.

Was a fantastic all round cricketer.

RIP Greigy.

very sad. Without Tony Greig cricket would be a very different game right now, by setting up world series cricket with Kerry Packer he changed the game for ever.
every professional player owes him a debt their thanks.

Tony Greig also introduced the helmet to cricket... he really was one of the most influential people in cricket history.

Ahan, perhaps Ayrtek designing something which pays tribute to Greig, would get Ayrtek heaps of admirers I'm sure..
