Description
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Adam has Bharat Sundaresan for company in the co-hosting chair and they quickly settle into a theme: fathers and sons. Some of the stories, like a couple of Australia/West Indies ODIs from the glory days of the format, are lovely. But one of them, the passing of Final Word Fave Johnny Won't Hit Today, alongide his old man, is nothing short of tragic. Between times, more Jamaica than we anticipated, quite a bit more of the 1911-12 Ashes than we thought was coming too, and we return to the Boer War for another sad tale from the battlefield. We hope you like it - enjoy.
