The Origin Story of Sachin Tindall

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, a time when Zimbabwe ruled the world and Henry Olonga set it alight. Which of the great players is most undervalued, and why is the answer is Zaheer Abbas? The origin stories for a moustachioed icon and for the best to ever do a certain job. And the way that we answer answers that we can't answer.
