Story Time 205 - The POW who beat England
Description
It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, it’s the formidable combination of Bharat Sundaresan and Daniel Norcross - born for these roles. Follow the tale of Geoff Chubb, the South African on the Lord's honours board who was imprisoned by Rommel, then look at India’s forgotten victory over the West Indies that was the catalyst for Fire in Babylon. Later, they explore the curiously dismissed career of Dane Vilas and Collis King’s World Cup winning innings.
