Legendary cricket broadcaster, Henry Blofeld, takes readers on a charming journey through modern cricket, while looking back at the great games of yesteryear.
Henry has been close to the heart of cricket for over fifty years. He has seen the game grow into a hugely international sport, where franchises continue to have massive influence and more and more games are added to the world calendar. It wasn't always this way and Blowers reflects on how cricket used to be and where it is headed.
In this new book he explores the big shifts, innovations and challenges facing the game today, while looking back at his life and career, recounting his cherished memories of his beloved sport. With his signature wit and insight, he compared the cricketing landscape of today with the cherished memories of yesteryear.
Henry Blofeld
The bubbly, boisterous world of Blowers knows no full stops. He is best known as a cricket commentator on BBC Radio 4's Test Match Special and BBC Radio 5 Live. He even occasionally turns up on Channel 4's 'Countdown' programme and is an amusing after dinner speaker. His idiosyncratic form of commentary is unique. His one-man shows have sold out across the UK, including the Royal Albert Hall. His stories about Ian Fleming, Noel Coward, Clive Dunn and others have brought the house down.
