It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. In a week when an Under-19s player was out obstructing the field and a Shield player survived a similar appeal, along came not one but two numbers linking us to some of the least common methods of dismissal in the game. We also go back to World War I, look at one of the tallest to play the game, find one of the rarest feats for opening batters, and end up even further back in 1855 for a run chase you won't believe.
