Tony Greig is remembered as the colourful captain who led cricket
into its biggest crisis of the last century. An all-rounder who
mixed boldness with belligerence, he was the first South African to
skipper England, restoring national pride with victory in India
after poundings at the hands of Australia and the West Indies. A
controversial and charismatic competitor whose "make them grovel"
comment about the West Indies signalled trouble, he later lost the
captaincy for recruiting players for Kerry Packer's World Series
Cricket. More than three decades later, now a leading television
commentator, Greig has never been fully absolved. Featuring many
new interviews, including with Greig himself, the book asks whether
cricket history judges the accomplished all-rounder fairly, or is
coloured by off-field controversies. Tony Greig offers a compelling
portrait of a fascinating cricketing era - and was shortlisted for
Best Cricket Book at the 2012 British Sports Book Awards.
