FANMAIL FROM JOHN DYBVIG

'Just thought I'd let you that my family just spent a great evening around the BBQ reading 'You're a Real Kiwi When.' My two kids took turns reading out loud and then we discussed what it meant. Sam read out 'You're a Real Kiwi when...you still get excited seeing John Kirwan at the airport. My little girl said, 'Who's he?' My 9 year old son replied, 'He's the famous All Black who's always depressed.' 

'BOWLING THROUGH INDIA' A BESTSELLER

It gives me great pleasure to announce that 'Bowling Through India' has become a bestseller, though this is the last time the Black Craps will be allowed on Eden Park.

HUGE THANKS TO AUCKLAND CRICKET AND RADIO TARANA!

'Bowling Through India' was released with a bang at Eden Park. Hat tip to Auckland's number one Indian radio station Radio Tarana and Auckland Cricket for their support. Given the Black Craps' form on  Close Up two nights ago, we never thought we'd cause the upset of the century by beating India Under 11s! (Truth is - you'll only get one chance to play on Eden Park, so you'd better win!). Catch the action from TV3's Sunrise.

Meanwhile, here I am with Blanket Boy (fellow Black Crap and star of the book) on Breakfast with Paul Henry. Here's an article in the Sunday Star Times, and here's fellow Black Crap John Bougen and I with Chris Laidlaw on Radio New Zealand. You can buy a copy of the book here.
