It was Tony Greig’s final innings at the Sydney Cricket Ground and he was sent off with a standing ovation.
His family and friends gathered at the SCG as the cricketing world paid tribute to the late former England captain, who lost his battle with lung cancer after suffering a heart attack on Saturday.
The flags were at half mast and a wide brim hat, which was synonymous with the respected caller, hung over the pink stumps at the centre of the ground during the minute silence.
