The voice of Carribean cricket,legendary commentator Tony Crozier passed away.  Will be sadly missed  by all who listen to his radio work, and insight to Windies cricket .

And the all-time great John Arlott. (Whom as a lad I was privileged to meet at a talk he gave. In Romford library, strangely. Lovely man.)

Tony Cozier's best piece of commentary was saying nothing at all when Johnners and Aggers corpsed live on air. A few modern commentators might like to follow the same principle.

My favourite overseas TMS commentator since I first listened in 1972.

Quite a few TMS stalwarts now gone - Arlott, Johnston, CMJ, McGilvray along with Trueman and Bailey.
