Andrew R. Cunningham had a passion for cricket and he has taken historical events and characters and re imagined them. He has produced a fascinating novel concentrating on certain aspects of the lives of individual players prior to and after the First IX Cricket Tour of England in 1868.

He has used his power of language to create and define characters in such a way that the reader will be entertained, whilst being introduced to perhaps unknown aspects of events in early days of colonial Australia, that were indeed real, and impacted on this story of the first Australian International team.

His evocative and clever writing describes aspects often forgotten or not previously represented by this story. He uses compassion and humour as he gently provokes the reader to think seriously about the past injustices practised by society at the time. His writing also celebrates the prowess, skills and sporting successes of the Aboriginal cricketers. His empathy is encapsulated in the title, 'Cry sorrowful for Bullocky.'
