Reviews

Enchanting. Twirlymen is packed with anecdotes that fizz like a Murali doosra
*Spectator*

Wonderful
*The Economist*

Erudite... Charming and insightful... Knowledgeable, obsessed and astute
*New Statesman*

Rajan captures the distinctiveness of spin bowlers, a tribe within the wider nation of cricketers
*Literary Review*

I could not stop picking it up... A history of spin bowling, diligently researched but written with wit and, most tellingly, an obsessive's eye for detail
*Guardian*
