Story Time 197 – The man who loved being whacked in the head

It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, most people do not seem to relish being clobbered in the scone, but one man did. One brave, strange man who kept going back for more. Also this week, navigate through some dusty old bastards, find out why Garfield Sobers was cricket's Wilbur Smith, and marvel via the medium of off-spin at the confounding fact that this game has survived at all. Daniel Norcross joins Geoff Lemon for a very fun episode.
