It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, the man who was Test captain but never knew – an emblem of his peculiar life, told wonderfully by Daniel Norcross. Adam finds an excuse to go back to a beautiful line on contemporary of Bradman who had the knack of stepping up when it mattered most. Later, some love for the long lost tour game, those played in Australia and some others played by Shane Warne.
