Tony Cozier RIP

[Ken Gargett]

a name that will be well known by every cricket fan, cozier was one of the great commentators. as a young kid listening on the ABC to the cricket coverage (in the days of very little tv coverage - can you imagine?), i loved the series against the windies - so exotic, so exciting. truly great cricketers both sides. and wonderful commentators on both sides - alan macgilvray as an australian and cozier from the windies. listened to them for hundreds of hours. i think i last heard him just a few years ago. still a joy.

the game will not be the same.

As a kid, I couldn't stand how he was so knowledgeable about West Indian cricket, especially when they were winning all the time in the 1980's! As I got older, I developed a healthy respect for his statistical prowess. His expertise will be missed.

as a kid, i had the opposite pleasure - we were winning most of the time then.
