Luke Wright may be the first English player to make a million quid simply on the back of his ability as a Twenty20 player. We talk to the 23-year-old allrounder who is in the right place at the right time, with Stanford riches on the horizon. 

SPIN's Rob Smyth looks back on Michael Vaughan's reign as England Test captain, charting the highs and lows of a tenure that included, obviously, an Ashes win. 

From bringing down Michael Vaughan to hiding in the toilets, the world's No 1 fast bowler gives SPIN an exclusive insight into South Africa's triumphant tour of England (and to the card game of choice on the team bus). 

Weeks after his shock mid-tour retirement, SPIN sits down with Stuart MacGill in the Barossa Valley - Australia's most famous wine district. MacGill reveals the thinking behind his decision to call it quits, admits to being a bookworm and discusses his new TV show. About wine, obviously.
