India's voice of cricket has a long relationship with Australia too, part of ABC radio since 1991. None of this happened by accident: Harsha Bhogle was the classic freelance pioneer, and still has the same attitude. For The Final Word 2018 Christmas special, Harsha settled down for a long chat with Adam and Geoff about the hustle and grind, the need to improvise, and the story of how he turned it into an extraordinary life. This is the encore repeat of that interview.

This is also the start of what eventually morphed into Story Time, our weekend show where we used Nerd Pledge numbers to journey through cricket history.

Our Nerd Pledge numbers this show:

Guess away. Our answers are in the episode.
