**The new book by legendary cricket broadcaster, taking readers on a nostalgic journey through cricket** The world in which I began my life in cricket could hardly be further away from the world of cricket today. Henry Blofeld has been close to the heart of cricket for over fifty years. He has seen the game grow into a hugely international sport, where franchises continue to have massive influence and more and more games are added to the world calendar. It wasn't always this way and in Tranquillity and Tumult, Blowers reflects on how cricket used to be and where it is headed. He explores the big shifts, innovations and challenges facing the game today, while looking back at his life and career recounting his cherished memories of his beloved sport. With his signature wit and insight, he compared the cricketing landscape of today with the cherished memories of yesteryear. plate section
