Tony joins mid-day
For five decades now, Tony Cozier has been the voice of West Indies cricket. Or let’s put this way: No journalist has seen so much of Caribbean cricket as Cozier considering he first covered a Test series in 1963. Cozier was interviewed by Indian Express journalist Bharat Sundaresan last July and when asked whether he plans to take a break after five decades of commentary and writing, he said: “I am obsessed with the sport. I stay up late or wake up in the wee hours. I even stay up to watch Zimbabwe play Bangladesh but that doesn’t last more than an hour. The IPL I don’t see. I still write columns for three papers on a Sunday. I’m not going anywhere yet.” Make that four. Cozier joins his mate and fellow commentator Ian Chappell to add to your Sunday reading please.

Can’t get enough of cricket: Even after five decades, there is no keeping Tony Cozier away from his favourite game
