Template:Infobox Historic Cricketer Basil Arthur Firebrace Grieve (born 28 May 1864 in Kilburn, Middlesex, England; died 19 November 1917 in Eastbourne, Sussex, England) played two cricket Test matches for England during the England tour of South Africa in 1888/9. The games represent the first two first-class cricket games played in South Africa. Grieve himself was no better than a club cricketer, and was a fine medium-paced opening bowler for Harrow and the MCC, but he was only selected as it was decided that a full strength team would be far too strong for the Springboks and he did not bowl in the two Tests. This was found to be particularly, true - the England side was no better than that of a weak county side, but still won handsomely. Grieve was a wine merchant by trade.
