It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This time, Adam and Geoff are trying something unusual. It's a quadruple header, and it involves a quadruple ton. Then from Slammin' Sammy Northeast we go back nearly 100 years to when Wally Hammond let his balls do the talking on Test debut. Also, Indonesia-Japan relations via the NSW towns of Lismore, Hay and Cowra, and a great Dutch leader's finest day. Enjoy some tales as you drive home for Christmas, or whatever else you're doing.
