About this episode
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, there will be plenty of centenaries and sesquicentenaries coming up over the next few years, but we have found a rather more niche one than the first Test or Bodyline or Bradman's debut. Find out about a bloke called Piccolo Jim. Also this week, the drag-flickers who swapped sports, and a lovely left-armer. Adam and Geoff are back together.
