No sport does storytelling like cricket - a game as full of heroes, villains, politics, and drama as any Shakespearean play.

And few have explored those stories as far and wide as Adam Collins and Geoff Lemon. Over hundreds of episodes of Story Time, the history spin-off to beloved podcast The Final Word, they have followed their listeners' clues to track down the wildest characters, matches, and situations the pitch has seen.

Bedtime Tales for Cricket Tragics brings together the stories they enjoyed telling most, from the 1879 riot in Sydney sparked by an umpire's call, the all-rounder who tried to rob the Catholic Church, the biggest defeat in history, and much more.
