'Cozier the perfect soundtrack to any cricket match'

ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ cricket correspondent Jonathan Agnew and former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding remember legendary Caribbean cricket commentator Tony Cozier, who has died aged 75.

Cozier worked as a cricket broadcaster and writer for 58 years, making his ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Test Match Special debut in 1966.

Holding, himself a legend of Windies cricket, recalls being told as a 19-year-old that if Cozier wrote good things about him, he had a chance of playing for West Indies, so respected was his opinion.

Agnew added that Cozier was "the perfect soundtrack to any cricket match".
