Story Time 46 – The ol' wozzler

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. Today: a Dusty Old Bastard with a very particular trick. A deep dive into some of the finest slow merchants ever to operate out of India, a look at a couple of speedsters from either side of the ditch, and a Final Word familial link to Bodyline. All before a trip down Root 66.  Your new Nerd Pledge numbers: 9.06 - Basab Majumdar 2.86 - Alasdair Townsend & Sean McGivern 3.00 - Tim Harding & Alex Brown Plus revisits and confirmations.
