Story Time 158 – The great eccentric educator

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Adam has the tale of a truly bonkers and brilliant man, named Rollo on his birth certificate, who had an extraordinary career and shaped a great many cricketing lives as an educator. We also go back to 2009 - how is it possible Jimmy Anderson was leading the England attack in 2009? A different world. Geoff takes us back to a South African DOB who played as he was described and reflects on the South African side in the immediate aftermath of the Hansie scandal.
