About this episode
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, the hope of Queensland and the spirit of Somerset, as we return to happier times for domestic cricket. A tale of a Lord’s final of Daniel Norcross’ youth is told with care, as is the career of England’s big boss when he was a big boy plundering runs. Later, an old friend has a clue in for Adam, which relates to yet another book he’s written about the Golden Era of the game. In the middle of all this, a time jump followed by lengthy TV review section – maybe we do this every weekend?
