Anthony William Greig (6 October 1946 – 29 December 2012) was an English Test cricket captain turned commentator. Born in South Africa, Greig qualified to play for the England cricket team by virtue of his Scottish parentage. He was a tall (6 feet 6 inches or 1.98 metres) batting all-rounder who bowled both medium pace and off spin. Greig was captain of England from 1975 to 1977, and captained Sussex. His younger brother, Ian, also played Test cricket, while several other members of his extended family played at first-class level.
