Tony Greig and Michael Hussey

Post by FlowerPower »

Was convinced Tony Greig would pull through, alas he didn't great loss to the cricketing world. I loved to hate him, but love him or loath him he was the very fibre of cricket as we know it.

And Huss my favourite cricketer of all time....retires...he too will be missed!

I was at the Melbourne renegades vs the Perth scorchers when they announced his death :o .

Shame for Huss, class cricketer though. :?

Renegades, unbeaten till the day, were clapped by Gibbs and co. :lol:

It's been a sad few weeks. as well as Greig, Christopher Martin Jenkins has died too, and he was one of the grandfathers of English cricket commentary.

Hussey has retired, Ponting too, and now Paul Harris. Cricketers come and go, and names come and go, but some of my favorites all in one month :'(
