Once again, Henry Blofeld, TMS's most famous commentator, casts his witty and waspish eye over the cricket year. And what a year for cricket! There was Geoffrey Boycott losing his assault case in the French courts - Blofeld has the full, behind-the-scenes story; the West Indian team strike; the match betting scandals; the rumpus on the pitch as Sri Lankan Captain Ranatunga marched his players off in protest at the no-balling of Muralithian; England's heroic loss of the Ashes in Australia; Darren Gough's hat-trick; Brian Lara's incredible resurrection in the West Indies against Australia; and full inside details of the farce of England's performance in the 1999 Cricket World Cup. And Henry tells of how his season nearly came to a tragic halt as he was rushed to hospital with a major heart problem. But, as ever, Blowers pulled through with the zest and high spirits that make him so well loved by cricket fans and ordinary mortals alike.
