In March 1977, England cricket captain Tony Greig was arguably the
most famous and popular sportsman in the country, and the best
all-rounder in world cricket. He had recently led England to a
famous series victory in India, her first successful campaign on
the subcontinent since the Second World War. Then he had conjured a
doughty performance from his travel-weary troops in the dramatic,
one-off Centenary Test in Melbourne, narrowly losing by 45 runs.
Within weeks, though, his reputation was in tatters. He was branded
a traitor and mercenary, stripped of the England captaincy and
excluded from the national side. He was also relieved of the Sussex
captaincy and banned from first-class cricket for eight weeks. His
involvement in the controversial 'Packer Revolution' had caused his
fall from grace. Soon afterwards, he left England for good for a
commentary career in Australia. At 6ft 7in, Greig was a giant of
the game both figuratively and literally. His life story is every
bit as fascinating as the controversy that engulfed him.
