Blowers bite
This one’s from Khalid Ansari’s tour diary from India’s 1980-81 series in Australia (Sportsweek February 8, 1981): “British commentator and correspondent Henry ‘Blowfly’ Blofeld (also nicknamed ‘Blowers’) came dangerously close to having to eat his hat, as India saved the Adelaide Test by the proverbial skin of the teeth. Blofeld had predicted in his column in ‘The Australian’ on the third day of the Adelaide Test that there was no way the match played as it was on a beautiful batting strip, could produce a result. Blofeld, who brought his bowler hat to the ground on the last day, waited with plate, salt and pepper, fork and knife in front of him as the Indian batsmen played out the last few agonising moments.”
