20 Questions With Henry 'Blowers' Blofeld

One of the most iconic voices in sport, indeed one of the most iconic voices in the history of radio, Henry Blofeld shares his reflections on a career behind the mic during which he bore witness to some of the greatest feats in cricketing history. Now 85 and retired from the BBC's Test Match Special commentary team, he recalls the day the legendary John Arlott described the game's first streaker at Lord's (complete with impressions of Arlott and Brian Johnston), remembers some of his favourite players and their top innings, gives his verdict on Ben Stokes and Bazball, and makes his predictions for England's series against India and this winter's Ashes in Australia. Congratulating the multi-racial South African side recently crowned Test champions, Blowers extols the unrivalled virtues of the longest form of the game, and calls for matches to remain five day affairs. With his idiosyncratic charm and good humour, the Old Etonian, whose surname was the inspiration behind one of Ian Fleming's most notorious Bond villains, and who once almost played cricket for England himself by mistake, shares stories and offers his analysis on the sport he loves.
