It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, this show has had many distant dreams, but this week we finally have sweet closure on what may be our dearest of them all. Also, a new rival for Jack Reacher brings a story about giant-killing, and a flame who burned so bright that he eventually burned away an era of national gloom. With Adam and Geoff.
