#3 Tony Greig

A daunting all-round cricketer during his day, the late Tony Greig stood six feet six inches tall and remains one the finest all-rounders England has ever produced.

A fine batsman and lethal fast bowler or spinner when he chooses to be, Greig made his test debut against Australia in '72 and was appointed captain in '75.

He led England in the first ever cricket WC in '75, but his finest moments as English captain were to come on Indian soil, as he oversaw a dominant English performance in every aspect of the game.

A versatile player and aggressive leader, he masterminded a swift, tactical display of sporting intelligence throughout the series, losing just one of the four games against the Indians in 1977.

Grieg won 3 of four Test matches as captain.
