About this episode
It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Adam and Geoff are back to normal with a few great tales and a major statistical quirk. We go back to both World Wars to look at the mentor of a frequent ST subject, and revisit our inaugural Dusty Old Bastard. Then there's a true pioneer, and a mathematical oddity: how can the most frequent one-day score also be so unlikely, and how did one Australian number become an Indian nemesis?
