The autobiography of cricket broadcasting legend, Henry Blofeld

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.

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.

Henry Blofeld singles out the most exciting and entertaining cricketers of all time in his irrepressibly enthusiastic book.

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.
