Shortlisted for Cricket Book of the Year at the British Sports Book
Awards For over half a century, Henry Blofeld has conveyed his
unfailing enthusiasm for the game of cricket as a much loved
broadcaster and journalist. His characteristically patrician tones,
overlaid with those of the bon viveur, have delighted listeners to
the BBC's Test Match Special where the personality of the
broadcaster comes second only to a deep knowledge of the game and
its players. With his engaging conversational tone it is easy to
see why listeners feel as if they are actually at the Test match
watching in Henry's friendly company. Now that 'Blowers' has
decided to declare his TMS innings closed, his book reveals the
secrets of life in the commentary box and of the rich cast of
characters with whom he shared it, from the early days of John
Arlott and Brian Johnson to Aggers and new boys Boycott, Swann,
Vaughan and Tuffers. Henry is equally revealing of his own
performances and self-deprecatingly recalls his several verbal
misfortunes while live broadcasting. Like the greatest commentators
and writers on the game Blofeld has always understood that there is
a world beyond the cricket field. Not forgetting pigeons passing,
red buses and much loved cricket grounds, Henry Blofeld writes of
his favourite countries, and experiences while travelling, and
meeting and interviewing many cricket-loving celebrities. His
passionate and entertaining book will become one of the classics of
cricket's literature.
