Shocked to hear that Tony Greig died last night in Sydney from a heart attack (though one assumes it is related to his lung cancer). Such a surprise as he was interviewed live during the SA series a few weeks ago and looked very well. Edit: And here's that interview from last month.…

He always seemed like a nice guy and a good commentator.

RIP.

Very sad news. I enjoyed listening to him commentating on Channel 9's coverage.
