Story Time 274 – Let’s all eat some ants
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, the best performances that didn't go so well on the other side of the ledger, a firebrand whose madness was seen both on the field and off, an early shapeshifter who surprised in his non-preferred suit, and an unexpected dietary quirk along the way. Geoff and Adam combine.
Your Nerd Pledge numbers for this week: 2.65 - Crispn Crunch
6.55 - Rooster
3.56 - Big Jim
11.00 - Matthew Beggs
