It's Story Time, our weekly walk through cricket history. This week, a quick one from the SCG before it's time to pack up and ship out, but we have time for the tale of just how many degrees Saeed Ajmal had to study, and have studied, at the University of Western Australia. Also this week, Pip's first ODI back in 2008, and the subsequent story of a player we knew nothing about.
