RIP Tony

The driving force behind the World Series Cricket and a pioneer of what we today know as One Day Internationals, Anthony William 'Tony' Greig lost his fight against cancer on 29th December, 2012. 

(1946-2012)
Be it his energetic voice commenting on Tendulkar's attack at Sharjah or the passionate description of his much loved island nation, Sri Lanka - Greig by and far has been one of the most recognized face and voice of modern day Cricket.

Not fortunate enough to have seen him play, I have endless regards towards his love for the game and his marvelous commentary skills.

May he Rest in Peace. The cricketing fraternity will be a lesser place without him.
