The Australians look marvellous in their bright canary yellow.
RIP Tony Greig

Sad.

Kerry is gathering a competition in the after life.

Don't mean to offend anyone.

Probably be live on Heaven7.

[Footy Chick]

Never held a garage against anyone. One of the characters of cricket commentary is gone.

RIP Tony

Cricket and c9 has lost a special person with a great love for the game of cricket.

Love him or hate him, the com box won't be the same.

Vale Tony.

[Fricky]

Just need a comment from the 12th man.

Surely some sort of memorial cd will be released

[Brodlach]

Well done Channel 9, great show about Tony


It will be terrible when Richie goes

[on the rails]

Just discussing Tony Greig with a couple of mates and why or what he is remembered for? They both said he is remembered mainly because of his long commentary career on C9 so he was always around so to speak and the fact he was different. I agree re his commentary but I don't think he was different - he was just himself and said it how it was and didn't hide for confrontation.

Love him or loathe him he stood by Packer and World Series and was a big part of why cricket changed certainly for the better re players wages after WSC.

[Brodlach]

Interesting on the show that Thommo has been ringing him almost every day since he was diagnosed with cancer. Goes to show that friends can be made from adversity

[RustyCage]

huge loss to the game, someone whose opinion I always had the utmost respect for.

i will never forget his comment, a match at the SCG, and the camera panned out to a wedding. He thought his mic was off and made the mail order bride comment

there are so many other things that Tony has said and done that will be remembered

Was at North Sydney I think (probably wrong) and it was very funny at the time.

Correct. NSW v SA in a Mercantile Mutual Cup match. Absolute classic.

[FlyingHigh]

Huge loss to cricket all around the world.
With all his contributions off the field, it seems his career is often overlooked, especailly with a batting average of 40 in the 70's.

That game was a cracker too. SA beat a full strength NSW on the last ball in pretty controversial circumstances....

He was someone you used to love to hate when listening to as he appeared to hate Australia, but in reality was an excellent commentator who will be sadly missed and with Bill Lawry retiring Cricket will never be the same on 9 again, I managed to see live his last appearance during the first test which was emotional.

Not trying to be being disrespectful as Greig's passing is very sad and unfortunate, but wondering what would be the reaction when Chappelli goes, although not likely soon as he looks very fit for a 69 year old?

A state funeral - definitely...with the precession starting at the Legtrap

[GWW]

Chappelli would be around for a few years you'd think.

I have wondered in the past about how much longer Richie will be with us and what the reaction will be when he leaves us. He's an institution really.

Surely a "Bronze Statue" of the "Great Man"

[RustyCage]

another distinctive voice of cricket, Christopher Martin-Jenkins, has also passed away
