Unusual, sweet and interesting biography

This is an unusual cricket biography in that (a) it is written by a grandmother-grandson combination, and (b) it is only really half about Tony Greig, the South African turned English captain turned Australian commentator.

Greig's mother and son combine to tell the family story, and then shine a light on the career of their famous family member.

Sweet and interesting, this is a worthwhile examination of a man who was such a key role in the formation of modern cricket.
