About this episode
It's Story Time , our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we're looking at one of the great fourth-innings players, and a player whose marks of greatness were early enough that some of the milestones have been less acknowledged. Also this week, a wild start to a belated Ranji career, Geoff's favourite subject of all, and a tribute to a dancer.
