Anthony William Greig or Tony Greig, to me he was THE VOICE OF CRICKET. Thanks for the memories. RIP Mr.Greig.
No one can fill the gap of Tony Greig in commentary box
tony was a legendary sportsmen from indian fan.
seshadrik k he was a very good player but if he have some of hia remarks while commentating you can hear quite clearly his racial bias.
Awesome listening to these guys telling cricket stories.
Its 4:30 in the morning in SA hansie gives vinnige Fanie the ball. Tony commentating on a famous victory. Bowling Aus out for under hundred and twenty. What famous heroes we have lost. Those days cricket players were heros of grit and determination.
alvin kalicharans reaction was awesome at that time😅🇮🇳
My best commentator ever
Gotta love Greigy! I grew up on watching him, then listening to his commentary...RIP legend!
Stuart Broad sitting there like a saint in a lap dance bar!
🤣
RIP tony
Tony Greig lives in his own world of what is morally right and wrong
Whether you liked Tony Greig or not you have to say that he was a straight shooter who never asked or gave a quarter, personally I liked the guy .
He certainly is.
It is amazing that Stuart Broad attended this and then slashed one to Clarke at slip and stayed there
Thanks to Tony Greig, who woke up W. Indies Cricket! Respect and Rest in Peace.
This incident and a few other clips from that series were shown on the News in the UK at the time. The fact that they don't appear to exist any longer should mean that whoever lost or wiped these pieces of history should be strung up by the goolies.
The clip of this incident is available on CZcams and I watched it moments back. This man is shameless.
My fave part is when they didn't show the footage.
Greigy definitely would have called Jonny Bairstow a dopey goose for wandering out of his crease!
Mr TG the stumps on striker end were on ground
And now in 2023, the great man is still correct, and English press still making the same noise…and it still doesn’t matter…it’s out
I quite surprised Stuart Broad did not interject to point out that Kallicharan wsa not 'taking any advantage' by walking off early so the runout was against the spirit of cricket.
Actually I'm not surprised.
Similar incident happened when Ian Bell was run out vs India leaving the field lunch and India had to withdraw the appeal
They didn't "have to", they just didn't want to hear the English whining about it till eternity so SRT coaxed MSD into retracting the appeal.
im sry im still guttered by his passing and was intocicated..i removed and appologise..
Did the umpire call 'over & time' ? If not, the batsman is run out.
Not necessarily. I don't know how the laws were worded at that time as I was about 1 year old, but there are at least 2-3 dozen things that make the ball go dead, and one of them is when the batsmen at the wicket and the members of the fielding side cease to regard it as being in play. Allan Knot knocked the bails off, so he, as the fielding keeper, ceased to regard it as being in play. No run was ever going to be attempted, and apart from anything else, as last remaining batsman, Kallicharan would have wanted the strike first up the next day, so he to, as one of the batsmen at the wicket clearly had ceased to regard the ball as still being in play.
Just read online that Sir Geoffrey Boycott now wants the Australians to apologize for the Bairstow runout. Considering he was in the team that day in 1974 at PoS, the delicious irony seems lost on him!!!
Kallicharran was reinstated, Bairstow wasn't.
Who is on the far left?
Stuart broad
Hi Jonny Bairstow
I absolutely DO NOT CONSIDER Benaud as the voice of cricket. That is bullshit propaganda by the Aussies ( Abusive players Sledgers,Cheats,)He had no enthusiasm.This man was the original voice of cricket.His excitement was infectious.
Richie lived and breathed cricket his entire life, so yeah, no enthusiasm there. To an Aussie he will always be the voice of cricket. If you prefer Tony, that's fine, to each there own. Richie called cricket for over 40 years in England, Australia and other countries, so, "the voice of cricket" seems a pretty fair call to me.
Kallicharan video clearly shows batsman has already started walking to pavilion
However Tony justifies, he cannot convimce the world.
Tony is justifying his side. Ball is not dead (umpire signals it usually), tony ran him out. He clearly says, at that time he didn't know the bails were off at the batsman's end. Now I'm not sure of the rules then, like whether it's considered a pause when the bails are off on the other end. Kallicharan also was wrong, he can't walk like that. Yeah but in the spirit maybe they should have reverted the decision I guess..
I am with Tony Greig on this one. The match was still in progress and Kallicharan was out of his ground. That is out. End of.
Go check out the video of it. Everybody knew that WI had no intention of going for a run. As soon as Julian hit it everybody except Greig and the umpire were walking off. The wicketkeeper hadn't just removed the bails when Greig picked up the ball, he'd taken a wicket out of the ground, and continued to take the stumps out of the ground and walk off as Greig appealed. Greig was the only one celebrating this antic, and Kallicharan was livid. Everybody on the field except for the umpire considered that the match was not in progress. My feeling is that the umpire gave it out because he didn't like the way the players had taken control of the game away from him. I don't like the way that the word cheating is bandied about, but in my view it was cheating plain and simple and the umpire was so vexed by the players he condoned it. Had Kallicharan been the only one to start walking off Greig may have had an argument and appealing would merely been against the spirit of the game, but everybody was walking off the field except Greig and the umpire so it was clearly cheating.
If the umpire, as Greig said one umpire removed the bails from the stumps. That means they called time, end of play. Regardless of what Tony thinks.
Brian Sukhu it wasn't the umpire, it was Knot. czcams.com/video/qBSgfZzbpPM/video.html
Yes it was Alan Knott
Tony Greig was right, Kalicharran was in the wrong. Umpires finger went up immediately. Politics of mob rule and booing. Greig was tough but fair and a truly great all rounder.
Tony Greig was 100% justified in what he did and the umpire made the correct decision. Politics alone caused the decision to be changed because Greig was a white South African during the apartheid era. The fact that Knott had taken the stumps out at the other end is totally irrelevant - it's the umpires who call time, not the players.
SO DAVID , ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE GAME CAN BE PLAYED WITH OUT STUMPS
On your bike Tony Greig! I'd like to hear Kali's side of it before we're so bloody quick to chuckle at Tony's notorious aping and antics not to mention disparaging a fellow professional. Find it rather hard to believe a chap like Kali would have been reduced to "tears" Tony ....wherever the bloody hell you are now! Your feigned machismo in your twilight years was rather unbecoming...quite fitting with your on-field persona tho! RI bloody P ..meh!
Would that you got on your own bike, you semi-literate loser.
After all English Character..... Stabbing back...
Both Kalli & Greig were right, each in his own way. Not everything needs to go by the rulebook in sports. All that is required is common sense & the Capt withdrawing the appeal on his own.
After all, players routinely kick the ball out of play in soccer when a player is down on the pitch. I'm sure that is not written down anywhere.
That was a stupid justification by Tony
Knott taking the bails off & pulling the stumps out is totally irrelevant at the end of the day. Umpire calls time when he thinks fit to do so. Ball was still in play as the Umpire gave the batsman out. Greig fully entitled. Alas, common sense prevailed
Tony has a bad track record regarding sprite of sports
Liar. Tony Greg is racist. Shameless man. He breaks the spirit of the game and he also tells the world that Alwin Kalicharan cried and makes mockery of it unapologetically. The guy was out of his crease because he saw the ball was no longer in play and the stumps had been uprooted. Tony Greg should have been embarrassed after learning that the stumps had been uprooted. He should have withdrawn the appeal. Kalicharan was walking towards the dressing room and not running for a run. I can't understand why a platform is being offered to him to defend himself.
