Order the SPIN Annual here
Yep – a 100-page bumper book of cricket-themed infotainment direct from SPIN magazine. It’s the ideal Christmas pressie for any cricket fan, of ten minutes or 50 years’ standing.
The SPIN Cricket Annual 2010 is published by New Holland Publishers and is in book shops today. Waterstone. Smiths. And others.
There’s full coverage of the ICC World Twenty20 and England’s Ashes win as well as a breathless mix of cricket fun (ish) to keep you entertained until at least 5.30 on Christmas Day*. (*Not if you buy the book in October. That might be pushing it.)
Want to know how to bowl faster? Fast bowling guru Ian Pont, coach to Dale Steyn and Darren Gough, tells you how.
Want to read SPIN’s interviews with Shane Warne, Stuart Broad and Sachin Tendulkar? They’re all here.
Want to take on the Third Umpire’s impossible Christmas quiz? Or suffer his two-page tribute to Sky’s best commentator Bob Willis? Or see, via Hawkeye, exactly what makes Warne, McGrath, Flintoff and Strauss giants of the modern game?
You’ve come to the right shop.
Plus why your birthday could stop you playing for England. No kidding.
The SPIN Annual 2010 is the ONLY cricket annual of its type in the shops, an entertaining nod to old-school annuals celebrating the best of the modern game. A cricket book that doesn’t feel like a trip to the headmaster’s study.
It really is a suitable gift for cricket fans aged 8 to 88 but most of all, possibly, for middle-aged men who still wear trainers.

Episode 8: Hawkeye, dressage and stepladders
The Third Umpire and Jono Russell are joined by SPIN’s Hawkeye guru, Colin Spiro, in a candlelit Wetherspoons to discuss the Olympics – and a bit of cricket too. We talk to SPIN columnist George Dobell and one of the men leading the charge for cricket to be included in the 2020 Olympics, Shahriar Khan of the Asian Cricket Council. PLUS: the chaps debate their dream Test Match Special line-up – will Mike Selvey make it? Also: Colin the Janitor talks about stepladders.
