Publisher's Synopsis
From Rheims sampling champagne with Michael Atherton and Graham Gooch, to the early morning rain at Chertsey watching a game which began at 4.00am, Henry Blofeld's cricket year is full of humour, eccentricity, garrulous bonhomie as well as incisive commentary on the current game, the England team, the great matches,innings, scandals and players of the year. This is the cricketing life at its glorious best which recounts the drama and controversy on and off the field in a highly personalised year book from a uniquely qualified and appealing cricketing personality.
