It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we raise the bat. Episode 100 means two years of wandering through the back lanes and byways of cricket history, solving cryptic nightmares, and revelling in the tales of the strangest and loveliest game. Ten of our favourite Nerd Pledgers helped fill out the show, recorded in front of a live online audience.
