Blowers Bubbles & Balls breaks away from Henry Blofeld's more conventional journalistic style & is a selection of short stories & anecdotes about some of the more unusual experiences he has encountered throughout his career as a cricket commentator & writer A light-hearted & lightweight string of anecdotes by international media gadfly Henry ' Blofly' Blofeld which has marginally more about wine & women than cricket However Blofeld does introduce a few episodes such as his odyssey to the Sydney Hill to meet the owners of the ' Bespectacled Henry Blofly Stand' banner His stories take the reader around the world & behind the scenes with the cricketing fraternity From England to Australia from South America to India & back to the West Indies Henry tells of his much publicised run-in with Ian Botham & frankly discusses his relationship with Dennis Lillee These jolly jaunty japes & tales are sometimes witty sometimes racy sometimes spicy & occasionally incredulous but never are they dull
