“You never miss the water till the well runs dry,” is a popular idiom that simply means that oftentimes people are not grateful nor appreciative of something until it is no more.
Tony Cozier’s death last Wednesday means that those who felt that his columns in this newspaper (especially the Sunday Stabroek) would continue ad infinitum, will have to come to the sobering realization that, the “Well” the encyclopedic knowledge of West Indies cricket’s foremost authority that was Tony Cozier, has dried up.
His writings will be sorely missed!
