Basil Arthur Firebrace Grieve (28 May 1864 – 19 November 1917) was a cricketer who played two cricket Test matches for England during the England tour of South Africa in 1888–89. The games represent the first two first-class cricket games played in South Africa.
Born in Kilburn, Middlesex, Grieve was educated at Harrow and Trinity College, Cambridge.[1] As a cricketer, he was no better than a club cricketer, and was a fine medium-paced opening bowler for Harrow and the Marylebone Cricket Club. He did not bowl in the two Tests he played, and was only selected for the 1888-9 England tour after it was decided that a full-strength team would be far too strong for the Springboks. This was found to be true: though the England side was no better than that of a weak county side, it still won handsomely.
Grieve was a wine merchant by trade.[2] He died in Eastbourne, Sussex.
