Geoff Clements in his happy place, high atop a television tower ready to cover an international cricket match. OBITUARY: Geoff Clements watched more matches than most sports mad Kiwis – but almost all of it behind a television lens. Clements covered his first cricket match at Lancaster Park in 1965-66 when a touring Australian XI visited. Smith believed Clements set a broadcasting standard that rippled throughout the industry in New Zealand. When Clements retired he determined to watch more cricket on TV, play bowls and follow his passion for music.
