TONY COZIER

'Winston Anthony "Tony" Cozier' (born 1940 in Barbados) has been a cricket writer and commentator for West Indian cricket since 1958.
Cozier is the son of Barbados journalist, Jimmy Cozier (who was the managing editor for the ''St Lucia Voice'' and founder of the ''Barbados Daily News'') and he studied journalism at Carleton University, Ottawa.
Tony Cozier played hockey as a goalkeeper for Barbados and cricket as a batsman and wicket-keeper for two local Barbados clubs.
His first Test Match commentary on radio was on West Indies v Australia in 1965. Cozier has been a member of the BBC's Test Match Special commentary team and, currently, he is a member of the Sky Sports West Indian Cricket commentary team.
Cozier wrote the definitive ''The West Indies: 50 Years of Test Cricket'' (published 1978) with a foreword by Sir Garfield Sobers.
On Test Match Special during the 4th England v West Indies Test match in 2007, Cozier began to read out a letter from a Mexican listener called "Juan Kerr" until Jonathan Agnew stopped him continuing. Cozier seemed not to realise why.
