It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we explore the centuries between Gunter and Gunther, diverging from the New York of The Nanny to the New York of Friends. Or was it the same all along? Yes, this is about cricket. Also, the brothers who were not the twins, an unlikely Ranji Trophy head-to-head, a grand Jewish batting career, a return to a favourite Dusty Old Bastard, and a legendary innings that requires some myth-busting.
