Anthony William Greig (born 6 October 1946) is a former English Test cricketer turned commentator. Born in Queenstown, South Africa, Greig qualified to play for England 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. He became captain of his national side from 1975 to 1977 and also captained Sussex. Greig's younger brother, Ian, also played Test cricket.
A leading all-rounder in the County-game, Greig is thought by some former players and pundits to be one of England's leading international all-rounders. He was also, however, a sometimes controversial figure. He helped Kerry Packer start World Series Cricket by signing up many of his English colleagues as well as West Indian and Pakistani cricketers, a move which cost him the England captaincy. He is also noted for a controversial run-out of Alvin Kallicharran in a Test Match against the West Indies in 1974, and often clashed with Australian fast bowler Dennis Lillee on the 1974–75 Ashes Tour in Australia. His infamous "grovel" statement in the lead to a 1976 tour of England by the West Indies met with severe criticism.
Le monde est un pervers
Et je continuerai de le braver
Parce que le monde est un enfer
Plus rien ne m'atteindra
Le diable ne sait plus quoi faire
Pour contrôler ses intérêts
Que sur nos corps percés d'acier
Et maquillés de noir
Sable... moi sous le sable
Et toi... et moi sous le sable
Si moi j'étais la reine de ta vie
Juste pour aujourd'hui
La reine de ta vie
Je serai dans tes rêves
Tu seras dans les miens
Juste aujourd'hui
La reine de ma vie
Le monde est fait comme ça
Mais je continuerai de le narguer
Et on voudra ramper sous le sable
Et rien ne nous arrêtera
Sable... moi sous le sable...
Et toi... et moi sous le sable...
Si nous étions les reines de notre vie
Juste aujourd'hui
Les reines de notre vie
Tu seras dans mes rêves
Je serai dans les tiens
Je serai ta reine
Le reste de ma vie
