Story Time 133 – Happy Birthday, Sachin

It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, a very unusual Story Time. It's not the weekend. It's a Monday. But it's not just any Monday, or any 24th of April. It's not just Damien Fleming's birthday. It's not just 25 years since the Sandstorm century in Sharjah. It is Sachin Tendulkar's 50th birthday. And after years of making sport with Happy Birthday Sachin segments on The Final Word, it seemed only fair to wish him one sincerely, by dedicating a whole Story Time to what was the biggest career in the game.
