The Final Word Cricket Podcast Story Time 251 – Chariots of Fire from 0.2 seconds back
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, we're still in Adelaide as we discover by tangent the tale of one of the 20th century's biggest overachievers, New Zealand physician and athlete Arthur Poritt. You've probably never heard of him, but you'll be glad when you have. Also this week, an ancient rugby crossover and a little remembered record.
