It was an end of an era when Henry Blofeld rose from the commentary box seat for one last time, at Lord’s during the final day’s play of the third Test between England and West Indies. A serious road accident had left Blofeld in coma for 28 days, and caused severe damage for him to have a career as a cricketer. I’d defy anyone not to be rather nervous in that situation,” said Blofeld in a TV interview with Sky Sports during the Lord’s Test last week, ahead of his final stint as cricket commentator. BBC radio commentator Henry Blofeld waves to the crowd ahead of play on the third day of the third international Test match between England and West Indies at Lord's cricket ground in London on September 9, 2017. Blofeld will now move on to the ‘live stage act’ from cricket commentary, but his legend will always remain in the annals of cricket.
