Story Time 172 – The long slow birth of The Walrus

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, Reggie from the wonderful Vic Hotel in Brunswick allows us to spend a long time on the full history of the daring left-hander with the walrus moustache. Also, a rare Pakistan appearance for an Ahmadi Muslim, a unique achievement in T20 International cricket, and one of the great leg-spinning performances amid one of the great leg-spinning stories - and no, it doesn't involve the initials SKW. We're back, baby.
