Story Time 39 – David Boon on the 8 Mile

Our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Today: what happens when Boony's biggest secret is revealed? Who slides into the Old Spinner category late in the piece? And a week after the most ridiculous scorecard we've yet discovered, a Bannerman that gives it a run for its money. We'll uncover the true story of Milo, the link between Steve Waugh and Paulan Umrigar, and the England XI that went on to run the world even though it didn't at the time.
