Story Time 286 – The sandpaper redux

13 Sep 2026 · 1 h 25 min

It’s Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, Geoff and Adam were meant to do four numbers rather than two, but with the Sandpaper Redux tour looming, it seemed an apt time to revisit 2018 in detail. Also this week, a spot of Bradman mythbusting.

3.00 – Andrew Pelechaty

2.60 – Matt Near the Gabba
