It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, an ever-lively Daniel Norcross tells us all about a Surrey star scuppered by internal politics and an England stumper who kept on keeping on way into the night. Between times, Adam drops in to go back to a belter of a Test on Australia's marathon tour of 1964 before reflecting on when Virat Kohli was at the extraordinary peak of his IPL powers in 2016.
