It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we head to South Africa for the first big explosion in a career of big explosions, we pop by Headingley and the MCG for a career that was something more than what might have been, head through India and the West Indies for a career of frustration that finally had its fulfilment, and go back to Western Australia for something that definitely happened at the wrong time.
