It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, the originator of hair-replacement therapy, the first Australian cricketer with an earring (probably), the man who allegedly brought punk to cricket (not really). You know who we mean. Also, one of the few huge innings to deserve full acclaim, a legend's early foray into something different, and the brief flourish of a player who through no fault of their own might have given more.
