    R.I.P Tony Greig

    I was absolutely gutted when i heard that Tony Greig died today. I knew he was ill but I was expecting hi to be around for a bit longer.
    As kids he was probably our favourite commentator , we use to go around the house saying right in the block hole and room
    commentary will never be the same again.

    A sad loss but it does pose an awkward question...

    ...if he gets cremated, who gets to keep his ashes???

    I always loved it when him and Bill Lawey, would get stuck into each other and the way Billy Birmingham would take the mickie out of him. It just wont be the same watching cricket without him.

    Cheers Jeff

    yes sadly missed. I think the days of on air banter are long gone

    Will they spread his ashes down a crack in the MCG pitch?
