Between 1967-69 Henry Blofeld witnessed the gradual demise of the West Indian team & the link between a country's topography, style & endemic characteristics with the type of cricket it plays. Skilfully woven together they highlight great cricketing moments & analyse the humour & style of the Australians & West Indians with thoughtful insight.

Between 1967-69 Henry Blofeld was fortunate to witness cricket on three continents. He followed the great West Indies side captained by Garry Sobers through its home series against England - to the 1968-9 Australian tour, and finally their early summer '69 tour of England. Two main themes are explored throughout: The gradual demise of the West Indian side that included the likes of Lance Gibbs, Basil Butcher and Deryck Murray - but which also saw the emergence of future greats such as Clive Lloyd - and the link between a country's topography, style and endemic characteristics with the type of cricket it plays. These threads are skilfully woven together to highlight great cricketing moments and analyse the humour and style of both the Australians and West Indians with thoughtful insight.
