Story Time 128 – The big one (revisit special)
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. It isn't often that we breach the two-hour barrier, but this was worth it. A BUMPER revisits special with 18 numbers – a new record for a single ep. Hop in to learn about the all-round sporting brilliance of Harald Frei, a nagging seamer called Mad Jack, the sad final appearance of Johnny Briggs, and a chap by the name of Dick Daft. And so, so much more. Enjoy!
