It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. We never mess with the order these numbers land in our in-tray: what comes up, comes up.

With Daniel Norcross joining Adam, there's time for a odd tale when Surrey were done over by the powers that be as they pressed for victory over their old rivals Middlesex at HQ. And if you ever wanted to learn about Geoff Humpage, well, this is your podcast.
