'West Indies cricket has lost a man it will never replace'
The cricketing fraternity paid tribute on the passing of a legendary voice of the game
How desperately sad. Tony Cozier was a brilliant commentator & a truly great man. West Indies cricket has lost a man it will never replace.

Tony Cozier was only commentator able to walk seamlessly & brilliantly from the TV to the radio com box - two vastly different disciplines.

I'm really upset about the passing of Tony Cozier. He was one of the finest the comm box has ever been blessed with and a good friend. RIP

To say Cozier loved cricket would be shallow: it was his life. He gave to the game as much as he got from it.

His lilting accent, his passion, his knowledge. I'll treasure the memories of working with Tony Cozier on TMS & his advice. One of the best.

Go well Tony Cozier. You adorned our game. You loved it like a child and a parent. You had respect. You had dignity. And you had love.

I remember how Tony Cozier would finish his commentary stint & go straight to the press box. Perhaps felt, that's where he truly belonged.
