Greig is a talented and aggressive all-rounder – defined by the skipper as “combative”. First capped as a 20 year-old in 1989, he is now the senior member of the squad. While it took him some time to establish himself in the side, he is only the fourth Scot to have achieved 100 caps – a feat achieved in 2001. A very confident batsman, he has been known to take on even the fastest attacks without the now customary helmet and even Courtney Walsh in his pomp was put to the sword when Greig made a memorable half-century against the West Indies in Edinburgh in 1995.
