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.
[5][6] In 1888, Sir Donald Currie agreed to sponsor the first English cricket team to visit South Africa.
[7] The 15-man tour party included only nine players who were registered with county clubs and had played in first-class matches.
They were played at the St George's Oval in Port Elizabeth and the Newlands Cricket Ground in Cape Town; England won both convincingly.
[10] Grieve remained in South Africa for a time after the tour ended and is known to have travelled to Johannesburg with his colleague Monty Bowden.
