Henry Blofeld singles out the most exciting and entertaining cricketers of all time in his irrepressibly enthusiastic book.
Legendary cricket broadcaster Henry Blofeld takes us on a charming journey through cricket's closest test matches.
The book offers an engaging exploration of modern cricket through the eyes of a legendary broadcaster, blending personal anecdotes with reflections on iconic matches from the past. Readers are taken on a nostalgic journey that highlights the evolution of the sport, showcasing memorable moments and influential players. This unique perspective provides a rich tapestry of cricket history, making it a delightful read for fans of the game.
Between 1967-69 Henry Blofeld witnessed the gradual demise of the West Indian team & the link between a country's topography, style & endemic characteristics with the type of cricket it plays. Skilfully woven together they highlight great cricketing moments & analyse the humour & style of the Australians & West Indians with thoughtful insight.
Kerry Packer revolutionised cricket in the 70s. Today we are used to coloured clothing & razzmatazz, but Packer nearly broke the game completely. For a while it looked as if cricket might not survive. Blofeld's detailed document compiled in '78 shows concern for the human dimensions and makes The Man Who Coloured Cricket a dramatic & moving story.
A selection of short stories about Blofeld's more unusual experiences. From England to Australia; South America to India & the West Indies, he tells of his run-in with Ian Botham & his relationship with Dennis Lillee. These jolly, jaunty japes are sometimes witty, sometimes racy, sometimes spicy, & occasionally incredulous, but never are they dull.
