Missing Tony Grieg and Richie Benaud even in 2020. Legends.
I think I miss Richie more than any other public figure to have passed in my lifetime. His voice was the soundtrack to my summers for many many years. Cricket just isn't the same without him.

Agree, his knowledge, humour and the fact that he would give his opinion. To me the greatest sports broadcaster ever, suited cricket perfectly. Also see Barry Davies for football, Peter Alliss golf and Cliff Morgan Barbarians v All Blacks 82.

Agreed... And atm there are no legends to take their place. These days the Aussie Larakin cricketer would be cut from the team for merely looking sideways at the umpire. Sledging's been banned, and political correctness has steralized the game. I could barely name any of the Australian cricket team now because they're not there long enough to know. And the only time the media talk about them is when one of them play up in a bar somewhere.

The golden years of cricket 🏏 Absolute super star 💫 miss tony and Richie I have been blessed to have listened to these guys growing up, I still mis these guys even now in. 2021. As a 46 year old God bless 🙏🏻🏏
Watching this would bring a tear to a glass eye👏👍
My lasting memory of Tony was attending a Pakistan West Indies game at the SCG, I was seated in the ladies stand of the members section and after the game I saw Tony stop pose for photos, sign autographs and talk with a group of disabled children for quite some time. One really nice gentleman.
I'm 35 years old, one of my first Tony Greig memories, was his commentary at the MCG, the Steve Waugh sight screen catch, probably the best piece of play by play to this day. He was my favorite commentator, the WWOS combox will never be as good as it was throughout the 80s-90s. Today's crossover commentators like Brayshaw, frigging horrible. Thanks for the upload mate.

The only South African/ Englishman I genuinely liked and respected. Cannot believe it's nearly 10 years. Looking back on that I now know why I don't watch cricket anymore, it's not the game, it's the people that helped us understand it.
Mark Nicholas hosting with how great a presenter he is ! Richie Benaud's voice is music to my ears - absolutely mesmerising every word as if i want him continue forever. Unfortunately we dont have many up to the level of Chappell & Taylor in the box barring few random appearances from Holding, David Lloyd and Harsha Bhogle.
This guy was a genius in the commentary box with Bill and watching cricket just isn't the same without him. It's a changing of the guard with Richie, Bill and Tony not there anymore and the new crop have big shoes to fill to get the laughs that these blokes got. RIP Tony Greig. Gone, but thanks to things like KZread he will never be forgotten. Thanks for the upload.

One of the greatest. Made an impact as a player but most as a visionary. The first to see the light of professional cricket leagues. God bless Tony. Rest in peace, sir.

"The car park is full and we are going to see some carnage out here today" -Tony Greig
I saw Tony Greig play once, in the 3rd Test of the 1977 Ashes, at Trent Bridge. Greig was still selected as a player throughout that series despite being sacked from the England captaincy three months earlier. He took a superb slip catch to dismiss Rod Marsh in Australia's 2nd innings.
Miss u tony and rich benaud
Tony Greig was a breath of life to beleaguered England fans at that time. England was second-rate, lacked any real fight or talent, and was going nowhere. they could still beat their rate teams given the right conditions and a bit of luck but simply did not have what it takes to dominate a game of cricket or inspire young fans. Contrast the current England team with that of the early '70s. To say that there is a clear all-around improvement in fitness, commitment, enthusiasm, depth of genuine talent, fighting ability and general competitiveness is a massive understatement. This is in spite of improvements in all other cricket-playing nations, with the exception of the West Indies. England has had their outstanding individuals since the war, but IMO English cricket has never been in better shape both at the grassroots and International level. What Tony Greig did was make fans see that English TMC was not just a game for middle-class mummy's boys, on a jolly before getting a serious or proper job. Its future if it had one was proper perfectionism both as a sport and as a form of entertainment.
Choked up during the introduction. Such memories

Tony Grieg reached god level commentary in 1998 Sharjah . Sachin was playing best inning of his life on the field and Tony was doing best commentary of his life in the box . What a voice he had . Amazing.
Max Walker and Richie Benaud have both died since this programme was made. RIP.
Greig , Lawry , Benaud were legends. Now ABC is cattle class.
TONY WAS GREAT AT VOICE READING THE SITUATIONS N WORDS SELECTION A PERFECT XAMPLE OF BALL TO BAT BAT TO TREATMENT THEN TO THE CREATING OF SCENES OF AROUND N SURROUND. A TOWERING PERSONALITY.

It's true, anyone who has played cricket since the 80s has at one time tried to stick a key in the pitch.
Tony made cricket more interesting. Personally to me, who didn't knew English well enough, his commentary was up at the very top in terms of excitement.
Summer was Greg, Bill, Ritchie, Chris Martin Jenkins, Blowers, Jack Banister, Arlot, Johnners, Max, Fiery Fred, Barnicle Bailey and Bumble either retired or passed on, what a loss they are.
Got greigeys autograph in rushcutters bay bottle shop..."no problem,gotta keep the fans happy "
Legend has it , Viv still blasting Thompson and....Tony still commenting,"O boy...Viv Richards probably decided, that tonight is going to be his night"...Tony , Bill Benuad n Cozier .... circket not the same without them
The game is not the same!

Abhijit Salunkhe We've lost two of the best commentators in the game
I will not forget his voice. Ind vs Australia Sharjah.. He said, Sachin Tendulkar wants to win the match .... what a great commentator he is
He did get booed in England before W.S.C. and lost the England Captaincy and still managed to stay true to a deal that was unpopular then but transformed the whole game...Maybe a grudge is just that, 'A place to park your car.'
The world cricket miss you and your wonderful voice Tony greig.......
An absolutely marvellous effort this
Awsome team richie bill and tony very nice good comentry
I am a teacher. I learnt from Tony, how actually correct English is spoken. English has never been my first language.
The era of cricket where the commentary lineup was just as important as the playing team. Cricket commentary died with Ritchie, Tony and Bill.

best voice of cricket
In the intro. 'We all love cricket' I must have blinked when the 2010/11 Ashes series was mentioned.
You only realise how good the likes of Grieg, Lawry and Benaud were when they are replaced by the awful Brayshaw and Healy!!! RIP Grieg and Benaud both will be sorely missed,

Met him once at a shindig at Parliament House in Brizzie. Taller than I expected, and one of the nicest most giving public figures I've met.

legends in cricket commentators
Tony Greig was a brave captain and cricketer he was a good player of fast bowling while the likes of Boycott had a sabbatical.. He selected David Steel
nice...
Benaud looked like he was about to die on set....
now like both are gone feel like part of cricket has died
Shame on 9 for letting 7 get the rights.
The commentary stocks are much poorer with no Rissky n Bull.😂
