Henry Blofeld: ‘Test Match Special box is my home’
The cricket commentator Henry Blofeld, best known as as Blowers, has announced his retirement after nearly 50 years in the Test Match Special box.
Speaking first to 5 live, Henry said “Well, it’s been terrific fun.â€
“I think I find it a bit harder, and when you find something a bit harder it probably isn’t quite so much fun.â€
Henry will be commentating next month on the first two Tests against South Africa and then one last summer against the West Indies at Lords.
