'Cozier the perfect soundtrack to any cricket match'

BBC 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 BBC 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".
