SeMi FiNaL ONE
Tony Cozier vs Richie Benaud
The Route to the Semis: Cozier defeated Alan McGilvray in round one, before seeing off Jeremy Coney in round two and Kerry O'Keeffe in the Quarters. Benaud has had a tougher than expected journey to this point, defeating Waqar Younis easily in round one, before a tougher battle against David Lloyd and finally Tony Greig in the Quarters.
Tony Cozier
Playing Career: None to speak of. He played club cricket in Barbados and played Hockey for their National Team.
Commentating Pedigree: He has been a cricket writer and a voice synonymous with West Indian cricket since 1958. He debuted in radio commentary during the West Indies vs Australia series in 1965. He has since been a regular on the BBC's test match special team and in the commentary box for Sky Sports.
Other: * Author of the definitive history of West Indian cricket
Richie Benaud
Playing Career: Took Australia to the top of the cricket ladder, captaining the team from 1959 and playing in a total of 63 tests prior to retiring in 1964. A useful batsman, but primarily a leg-spin bowler.
Commentating Pedigree: Took a course in becoming a BBC presenter after the Ashes tour of 1956, but finally moved into commentary after retiring from his playing career. Has commentated ever since. In the UK, he commentated for the BBC and then Channel 4 until the coverage was taken by Sky in 2006. He has continued to commentate for Channel Nine in Australia after this time.
Other: * Once worked for The Sun newspaper
* Inducted into the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame in 2007
* Appeared in adverts for the Australian Tourist Board, stating various Australian locations to be "Marvellous!"
