Confirmed as a heart attack. ****ing flat.

Just remembering how at the start of every test Richie would give the intro spiel, then he'd cross to "Bill and Tony in the central commentary position". They were always the first two to call.

Sad news. Just a voice of summer.
Jeez, really grew up watching then listening to him every summer. He was the quintessential man Aussies loved to hate from the time he scored that hundred in 74-75 in Brisbane against Lillee and Thommo.
After his career he used to do the old pitch reports and weather wall at the start of play. He used to do Lion insurance ads and I remember being at the cricket as a kid and him walking out to do a pitch report with some mug punter yelling out "Hey Greig, get the ****ing Lion on the line".
He was really brash and had a real swagger to him as a player and backed himself. As a commentator I admit he used to grate me at times, but he knew the game backwards, and he really embraced the subcontinental sides enthusiastically on australian tv.

I thought Bill decided he wasn't retiring after all.
