It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, a new record for single largest pledge provokes a ridiculous voyage into the obscurities of the past. We have cricketing pilots, an Almanack exploration, Stork Hendry going in to bat for Clarrie Grimmett, and a thorny clue that you might have more luck with than we did.
