Blowers Cricket Trio.

Blowers, Bubbles and Balls, Cricket On Thre Continents and The Man Who Coloured Cricket all in one package.

 

Also available individually at £5 each.

 

Blowers, Bubbles & Balls breaks away from Henry Blofeld's more conventional journalistic style and is a selection of short stories and anecdotes about some of the more unusual experiences he has encountered throughout his career as a cricket commentator and writer. A light-hearted and lightweight string of anecdotes by international media gadfly, Henry 'Blofly' Blofeld, which has marginally more about wine and women than cricket.

 

Between 1967-69 Henry Blofeld was fortunate to witness cricket on three continents. He followed the great West Indies side captained by Garry Sobers through its home series against England - to the 1968-9 Australian tour, and finally their early summer '69 tour of England. The whole story is told in Cricket On Three Continents.

 

The Man Who Coloured Cricket is Henry Blofeld's detailed account of the developments that occurred throughout 1977-78. It also shows concern for the human dimensions of the controversy. The varied reaction of the English county players; overseas players; the legal tussles; the complex and surprising character of Packer himself; and the establishment figures with whom he did battle, are strands of the story expertly woven together to make a dramatic and moving story.
