Legendary cricket broadcaster, Henry Blofeld, takes the audience 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 show 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 compares the cricketing landscape of today with the cherished memories of yesteryear.
Henry began writing about cricket, for The Times, in May 1962 and in 1972 he started his long career as a commentator with the BBC's Test Match Special. During his career he has written for numerous papers and broadcast for both radio and television for many networks around the world especially in Australia and New Zealand.
Presented in association with Clive Conway Productions.
