Story Time is our weekly walk through cricket history. Jim Swanton had a hymn that he liked to sing, but you’ll never guess why. What about identifying the Godfather of Durham? John didn’t spell his the same as Evelyn. Who hit the pads but ate the pies? A little more Stan McCabe, a strange double from Steve Harmison, and the time that Mushtaq Mohammed did it all himself. After that we speak to the excellent Lisa Sthalekar, interviewed recently on the future of commentary for the documentary series Calling The Shots.
