From God we come and to God shall be our return.
Rest in Peace TC.
In TC's time there were not many voices allowed to hit the International stage and he certainly made it his own, as far as the West Indies were concerned but he was objective in his deliberations and observations.
Well placed to speak out against the WICB, when necessary, he seldom did so.
He has been the voice of Windies cricket and my condolences are extended to all his loved ones.
R.I.P.

Tony was one of my all-time favourites. His voice provided the soundtrack to that incredible period of West Indian domination. Listening to his melodically lilting, soothing voice on the radio on a cold, dark night, even with England getting smashed, was a rare treat.
He combined an encyclopedic knowledge with almost unparalleled insight. He truly was one of the last great commentators.
For old times sake:

According to Test Match Special producer, Adam Mountford, “He had a voice which instantly transported you from wherever you were in the world to the sun-drenched beaches of Barbadosâ€.
“Tony, or Winston Anthony Lloyd Cozier to give him his full name, was cricketing commentary royalty.â€

Two of the very best commentators calling two unplayable Wasim Akram deliveries in the '92 World Cup final:
I am not sure which is more enjoyable, the dulcet tones of Benaud and Cozier in harmony or Wasim Akram's jaffers.

there wasn't anything about Tony Cozier I appreciated.
Cozier was a west Indian white man who was never in sync with the black aspirations of the west indies. never.
that fact can be easily detected in his work over the years.
the one thing abut him I look back fondly at is the Benson and Hedges cricket monthly he published. I used to enjoy that and looked forward to it. I had a big collection of it that just disappeared.
I don't hate the guy..his memory. but he was deeply, totally, not on my side. and I saw that. case closed
