Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Coney though is more remembered for his tactical acumen as a skipper. He was a bold captain, who preferred calling a spade a spade. He only lost one Test series as captain, against Pakistan away.
He came from a musical family. Proficient with the piano, guitar and the double bass, he served as the head of music at Onslow college. By his own admission, the diversity of his life lifted his captaincy.
In a gentlemanly sporting gesture, Captain Coney allowed Bob Taylor to play as a substitute keeper after Bruce French was struck by a Hadlee bouncer in 1986. Post retirement, Jeremy Coney made a seamless transition into the commentary box.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A very tall, fit, and enthusiastic allrounder, Jeremy Coney was an organised and correct batsman, a steady medium-pacer and a fine fielder, who became an exceptionally astute captain. He had appeared in Tests against all the other countries before taking over from Geoff Howarth in Pakistan in 1984-85. Very determined, he tended to produce his best when the chips were down. A good musician and a qualified teacher, he became a regular selection after a successful home series against Pakistan in 1978-79, and was an important member of the team that reached the semi-finals of the 1979 World Cup. Consistent batting, including a record seventh-wicket stand with Geoff Howarth, helped New Zealand to a shock series victory over West Indies in 1979-80, but it was not until the first Test against England in 1983-84 that he finally registered a maiden Test century, a painstaking eight-hour match-saving marathon of 174 not out. He further enhanced his reputation by leading New Zealand to a first series win in England, in 1986, endearing himself to spectators by his sunny disposition. When Bruce French was felled by a Hadlee bouncer at Lord's, it was Coney who permitted England to play two substitute wicketkeepers. He was awarded an MBE in 1986, and became a successful TV and radio sports commentator and presenter. Shrewd and witty, he was streets ahead of most other players-turned-pundits.
