It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Hello, 2022! It begins as you might expect, with isolation and covid tests (as well as covid Tests). Does Adam have a strong argument for the greatest match ever played? Has Geoff unravelled a unique clue about David Clarence Boon? Let's go via Faisalabad, visit one of the greatest dashers, after starting with an apt connection to the Sydney Cricket Ground. Happy New Year.
