Story Time 245 – 1990s Australia is another country
It's Story Time, our walk through cricket history via your listener quiz challenges. This week, an inadvertent detour into just how distant the 1990s version of Australia feels from today, in maturity and tone and the possibility of change. The reconciliation journey that stalled, the television broadcasts that foundered, and the scope that narrowed. Also this week, the first burst of many from a burst expert, and the puzzling world of cricket slash fiction.
