A Tingling Catch, Cricket poetry, Wisden Cricketer
I was delighted to find my anthology of cricket poetry, A Tingling Catch, mentioned in this month's April edition of The Wisden Cricketer (UK), 'the world's No.1 cricket magazine'.
A Tingling Catch is given a brief review alongside recent cricket books including Gideon Haigh's book on the 2010-11 Ashes Series in Australia.

A Tingling Catch, Cricket poetry, Cricket Company - Sky Sport 1
A Tingling Catch: A Century of New Zealand Cricket Poems 1864-2009 edited by Mark Pirie (published by HeadworX) appeared on "National Bank Cricket Company", Sky Sport 1 (New Zealand channel), Thursday 24 March 2011.
I was interviewed for the show at the NZ Cricket Museum, Basin Reserve, along with cricket historian Don Neely (who wrote the foreword) and Radio NZ National's Jack Perkins reading poem excerpts from the book and talking about the poems that were read. It's a short segment so not all of the material recorded will be used.
The show was shown several times and was replayed on Sky Sport channels. The segment will be posted on the "Cricket Company" web page. Go to http://www.skysport.co.nz/ and click on "Cricket Company".
