Description

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, one of the dodgiest characters we've yet had the pleasure to meet on the show, plus a one-day record you've never heard of that will never be broken, some more scorecard chicanery from the 1800s, another descendant of the Furphy clan, and the style icons of the 1990s.
