About this episode
New year, new me. This is 2021's first Story Time, our dance through the history of cricket. This week returns to our favourite defenestrator, the most important runs in a run of five draws, and a new Dusty Old Bastard by the name of Septimus. And that’s just in the first half hour before we return to numbers we got wrong in the past, plus your correspondence from the Christmas and New Year break. It's great to be back.
