It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, following on from searching for the biggest bastard in the game, we've instead found the nicest one. Or at least, that's our guess. Also, the tale of a man named Huge Massive (at least by us), a candidate for India's unluckiest batter, and somebody who was the best at most things but also the worst at one thing.
