It’s Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, we didn't know that this would become an Adelaide Oval special, but that's how things have panned out. A glorious visitor makes the ground home, a forgotten classic renews a modern rivalry, and a much-criticised umpiring call was in fact correct.
