Talk:Tony Greig

message: Both Greig and Denness were actually Scottish (O the irony...). Possibly something in the text should briefly mention the unusual qualification arrangements in international cricket to avoid confusion for readers not familiar with the system?Badgerpatrol 09:51, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Maybe a statement (or link) to avoid confusion, especially for non-Commonwealth readers?

message: Could somebody please supply details of the incident in, I am sure it was, New Zealand where Greig was bowling and the ball unexpectedly rose very steeply and hit the batsman in the throat, nearly killing him. This incident had a great bearing on Greig's later work promoting the use of batsmen's helmets and, especially the addition of face and throat guards. Also mention should be made of batsman Greig's appearance at the wicket wearing a motorcycle helmet (and, even, perhaps, Bishan Bedi's turban at the World XI match at the M.C.G.). It would seem that the Greig and safety gear aspect is an important issue relating to Greig and his career that should be completed and included by someone with a good knowledge of such things.Lindsay658 06:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are you thinking about Graeme Watson in a match for Rest of the World in 1971-72. A beamer by Greig hit Watson on the nose. He lost a large amount of blood and had to undergo transfusion. Tintin 10:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

text: 1st Test NZ v England Auckland 1974-75. Batsman was Ewan Chatfield (a specialist no 11) who was struck by a bouncer from Peter Lever. Chatfield swallowed his tongue and was revived by the England physio Bernie Thomas as his heart stopped for a moment and he couldn't breath. See: . BTW, Grieg started the bouncer war in the 1974-75 series when he let Dennis Lillee have one in the 1st Test at Brisbane.Phanto282 15:47, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Near death from Greig's bowling 

message: This is normal English where I come from—London, England—but another user doesn't like it. Could it be a variant problem? Well, Greig played his cricket for England. Rothorpe (talk) 11:48, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: My view is that the time is irrelevant anyway. Have a think about what readers will be interested in in ten years time. When you read about the deaths of other people over the ages you only ever get the date, sometime only the year. I'd simply drop the argument and remove the time completely.

thread_title:  He died at around 1.45 

message: Can folk generally make a New Year's resolution to learn to use colons to indent appropriately, please?  
I sort of get that Rothorpe's "Quite right" is a response to HiLo48, in which case it should have had 2 colons - but I had to figure that out from the context.  
WWGB's comment seems just isolated from everything else.  If it's meant to be a response to Rothorpe's original post, it should be one colon in from it, i.e. at the same level as HiLo's post.  
It's pretty simple, really.  Let's make life easier for each other.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 21:51, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Indenting

message: Shouldn't there be a section on Tony's personal life? Marriages and children etc? Seems remiss to focus purely on his career - surely his family is important to any discussion of his life. 220.233.43.155 (talk) 13:05, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: The section "Controversy and triumph in the Caribbean" seems to me to contain some inappropriate editorializing. The very section tittle does not seem to me appropriate, conveying an opnion. Who said this was a triumph? Then we have  Who are ther "some" and "others" these are unsourced, and so are classic weasel words. A bit later we have  . That this was a measure ofd his determination is an unsourced opinion. This is the sort of writing that a primary or secondary source might use, but in my view that should not be in a Wikipedia article. i have tagged both sentences inline.
