"Tony Greig died of a heart attack on Saturday. It was probably for him a merciful release because the late stage of any cancer is often hell on earth. So, for most, is the toxic treatment given to try to cure the disease, administered by wonderful health workers. That, I’m sure, is much the same in Australia, where Tony, the impetuous enthusiast in a hurry, made his home since Kerry Packer barged his formidable frame through closed committee room doors.
