Story Time 175 – The fastest hundred ever made against Jeff Thomson*
Description
It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, disregard all fakes - this involves one of the fastest REAL centuries in first-class cricket. We hunt for a phantom spell via a bowling feat rarer than a double hat-trick, look at some less famed examples to more famed counterparts, and consider the adventures of the Channel Island Over-50s.
