This substantial volume traces the history of cricket poetry in New Zealand from 1864 to 2009 spanning 145 years of New Zealand cricket. It brings together verse and song by some of our best poets - past and present. From Samuel Butler's classic description of the visiting All-England XI in 1864 to Arnold Wall's widely known First World War piece, 'A Time Will Come', to the 'underarm incident' of 1981 and more recent cricket poems that feature current members of the New Zealand team. 'A Tingling Catch' is presented with a foreword (a poem) by well--known cricket historian, former national selector and former President of NZ Cricket, Don Neely.
