Basil Arthur Firebrace Grieve (28 May 1864 – 19 November 1917)[1] was an English amateur cricketer who played in two retrospectively-recognised Test matches for England in 1899. Those were his only first-class appearances and he was never a member of any county team. He was born in Kilburn, Middlesex, and died in Eastbourne, Sussex.
Grieve was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast medium bowler with an underarm action.[2] He was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge.[3] He became a wine merchant by trade.[4] He played cricket at school and took part in the Eton v Harrow match at Lord's in 1883. He became a member of Marylebone Cricket Club in 1885.[5][6]
