12: TEST MATCH

TEST MATCH (2003) was Terry Jaensch’s first issue as poetry editor and coincided with our move from a static HTML format to an (at that time) open source blog platform (Movable Type). As the title suggests, this is our special cricket issue. It’s no surprise then that Test Match contains poems by our resident cricket tragic, Nick Whittock!




Nick Whittock: Brett Lee

Over the past four issues, Cordite has featured a number of poems by self-professed cricket tragic, Nick Whittock. In fact, Nick's poems were the genesis of the current Test Match issue.
