Win England-West Indies tickets

Ashley Giles' recent heroics for England have seen him elevated to head of state.

Don't panic, Queenie, your kingdom is safe - although over in Madrid, Juan Carlos must be looking nervously over his shoulder.

The reason for all the excitement lies in the souvenir shop at Warwickshire - Giles' home county.

Since the born-again off-spinner grabbed 18 wickets in two Test matches, punters have been inundating staff with requests for mugs bearing the inscription: "Ashley Giles, King of Spain".

You can probably guess what's coming next.

Yes, dear readers - when Warwickshire commissioned the mugs to commemorate their new favourite son, they had in fact requested the words: "Ashley Giles, King of SPIN".

Easy mistake to make.

But all is not lost, because the Warwickshire faithful have demanded the mugs be left with the misprint on - and there are even some "El Gilo" specials doing the rounds.

Club shop manager Keith Butler said: "We had a batch of 200 that had pictures of Ashley on one side and King Juan Carlos on the other - they've sold out."
