They are the masters of deception, the jokers in the pack;
illusionists conjuring wickets out of thin air with nothing more
than an ambled approach and a wonky grip. Not for them the brutish
physicality of the pace bowler nor the reactive slogging of the
batsman. Theirs is a more cerebral art. They stand alone in a team
sport. They are Twirlymen. Having himself failed through a
combination of injury and indolence to become a leg-spinner of
renown, Amol Rajan pays homage to that most eccentric of all
sporting heroes - the spin bowler. On a journey through cricket
history Rajan introduces us to the greatest purveyors of that
craft, from W. G. Grace to Graeme Swann via Clarrie Grimmet's
flipper, Muttiah Muralitharan's helicopter wrist, Shane Warne's
ball-of-the-century and all the rest.
