Description
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Today we'll go from what kept Wally Hammond away from the game in 1926 onto Joe Denly's football career. Remember Jack Russell? Let's talk about the other one, the first Englishman to clock twin tons. Worcestershire's finest day on a rival's ground and Deano's final day for Victoria will come before finally answering a question that's kept us busy for weeks: who really is the best player to drop a catch from your bat? We also make amends for 5.66.
