Tony Greig you are a legend of this great game called CRICKET.
My condolences to his wife and family in this difficult time for the passing of Tony.
I remember back in the mid 70,s when Tony was on the screen representing his country England confronting Lillee & Thomson and holding up his end.
Tony turned on the Establishment in England to give cricketers an identity: give them more money: hence World Series Cricket.If it wasn't for Tony Grieg and Kerry Packer where will cricket be today!!
There is a saying by a slain US Presid talking about what you can do for your country and not the country do for you:
Tony Greig put English Cricket on the map: he was the role model for the next generation of allrounders like Ian Botham, Fred Flintoff in English Cricket.
Maybe the establishment should have a hard look at themselves.
Even in the other Code called Soccer they did the same to the late George Best: maybe like Tony Greig you have to stand up and be counted : he did that and his legacy will live on for the future generation of cricketers throughout the world.
RIP Tony Greig (legend of World Series Cricket)
