|title=Twirlymen: The Unlikley History of Cricket's Greatest Spin Bowlers

|author=Amol Rajan

|rating=3.5

|genre=Sport

|summary=Although they may lack the bang and bluster of the fast bowlers, the three leading wicket takers of all time in Test cricket are all spinners. They may look calmer in their run ups and action, but the effect they put on the ball can be incredible. Rather than blasting a batsman out, they bamboozle them. That's why Amol Rajan thinks them deserving of a book all of their own, and ''Twirlymen'' is the result of that belief.
