It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, who is the greatest French cricketer you've never heard of? This story comes thanks to historian John Peck. Daniel Norcross tries to untangle a slew of distinguished 1930s signatures on a bat, we detour via Esther Williams and 1920s silent film, develop a heavy Dutch theme, and look at some of the maddest finishes to T20 matches. An unmissable Story Time.
