Story Time 246 – Sacking Whitlam, sacking Boycott
Description
It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, we're recording 50 years to the day since the Whitlam Government was sacked by the Governor-General... but what was happening that day in the Sheffield Shield? Also this week, a wild coincidence leads us to the story of another famous sacking, and there's always time to loop back for another tale from the Centenary Test.
