Bowling through India : five Kiwi blokes take on India at cricket / Justin Brown ; photography by Brendon O'Hagan. - Auckland, N.Z. : Random House New Zealand, 2009. - 255 pages : color illustrations, color map ; 24 cm

Justin Brown, John Bougen, Brendon O'Hagan, Reece Irving and Stew Gunn (aka the BlackCraps) travelled and played backyard cricket in 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.
