It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, an all-time thrilling finish involving a classic Australian side, a trip back to rare winter cricket under the roof, the high craft of a maligned spinner at his best, and all the cherubim and seraphim who come to mind via a heavenly fast-bowling presence who an English county is unaccountably trying to thieve.
