It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. In the grip of the Delhi Flu, Bharat Sundaresan nonetheless gamely tackles this late-night episode from India with Geoff. We have puzzles via poetry, the moment when baseball finally crossed over to cricket, and a wrist-spinning Catholic insurgency. All backed up by the symphony of bad house party vibes and endless horns.
