Top Bins! A personal best, a lap record, and a hole in one for when rain has stopped play. ALAN DAVIES The trivia book of the season . . . magnificent. SPECTATOR Hop, skip, and jump into this wonderfully curious grand tour of the world of sports, brought to you by QI Elves James Harkin and Anna Ptaszynski.
