It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, in the Sherrin Stand at Victoria Park in Melbourne, we back to Napoleonic times to discuss whether we have newly encountered one of the most unpleasant characters in the history of the game. Later, some tales of things that might have been, ranging from Imran Khan to Mike Hussey to the magic of Ben Hollioake's debut.
