★ Bowling Through India is the exhilarating true story of Justin Brown's journey through the heart of India. From the bustling streets of Kolkata to tea shops in Darjeeling, Brown takes readers on a wild ride as he and ‘The Black Craps’ navigate the challenges and triumphs of competing in slums, cemeteries and exotic locations - mostly against ten year old kids!

Joining Justin in the van is a high-country farmer, a savvy businessman, a world class photographer with bowel issues, and a shoestring traveller named Blanket Boy. Together the amateur sportsmen take to the streets of India to face off against tremendously funny and charming kids who can bat and bowl like demons.

With wit and humour, Brown introduces us to a cast of colourful characters. But the road to success is not without its obstacles, and in particular, an incident in Varanasi changes everything.

An instant bestseller upon release, Bowling Through India is a non-fiction book for adults about travel, humour, mateship and the love of cricket that unites people whatever their age, race and station. Full of heart and adventure, it is a must-read for anyone who has ever chased a dream and dared to go off the beaten path. ★

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Justin Brown's trio of memoirs have been lapped up by readers who want a travel story with a difference. In UK on a G-String he became the world’s first door-to-door busker in a bid to make enough money to fly home to New Zealand. In Search of Swingers saw Justin play golf with whoever happened to feature on the front page of the newspaper in whatever town he visited. As always, these books are about the people and Bowling Through India is no different.
