BOWLING THROUGH INDIA

I never intended to do another travel book so soon. After all, writing a book is not as easy as say, learning the rules of poker or checkers. But the bloke on the cover (John Bougen) kept reminding me of the time I mentioned we should start the 'Black Craps' francise and play street cricket around India. The trip was like India itself: big, ugly and beautiful. Five men, a cricket bat and hell of a lot of sledging. Cliché alert - a life-changing trip with some hilarious strories. Really proud of this book. Out in August 2009. (You've really got to check out the multi-media slideshow on the front page of this site to realise how brilliantly strange this adventure was. Backyard cricket in a cemetery in Varanasi - only in India.)
