Five Kiwi blokes head for India in a quest to play cricket wherever they can find a bit of clear ground and a team keen to take them on. From Varanasi to Madras, Agra to Delhi, they face-off against kids who can bat and bowl like demons. On the way they learn a lot of about life, love, death, suffering, compassion and the fascination of India.

A blokes' weekend away. Yarns, jokes, sledging ...The usual guy-time thing, right? But for five Kiwi chaps - a high-country farmer, a radio DJ, a businessman, a photographer and a shoestring traveller nicknamed Blanket Boy - things get a bit more extreme when they decide to go to India. To play cricket. From Kolkata to Agra, Darjeeling to Delhi, they take to the pitch in the weirdest of locations to face off against kids who can bat and bowl like demons. Along the way the Black Craps, as they name their team, learn about life, love, death, compassion and the fascination of India. A book about travel, humour, mateship and the love of cricket that unites people whatever their age, race and station, Bowling Through India is an endearing and affecting read.

Justin Brown is a writer, comedian, radio host and the author of several books including BOWLING THROUGH INDIA, UK ON A G-STRING and TEED OFF IN THE USA.
