1946-2012: Tony Greig dies suddenly

Former England cricket captain and popular commentator Tony Greig died after suffering a heart attack in Sydney aged 66.

Greig had recently been diagnosed with lung cancer, but he suffered a sudden heart attack at his home.

He spoke at the start of the South Africa test at the Gabba to his Channel 9 colleagues last month of his battle "It's not good. The truth is I've got lung cancer. Now it's a case of what they can do,".
