Here's an easy one to kick start the thread, (the condition being that the person posting correct answer will post next question!!)

Question

What is the highest score without a bye being conceded and who was the keeper ?

And that takes me to 2000 !! :cheers: :jump: :drunk:

Maximum number of catches by a side in a Test match - Australia (19).
Maximum number of extras in an innings by Australia ever (52), with 35 no-balls (another world record, rather an equalling one).

I'm not so sure of the answer, but yes I'll definitely be online later today as well. So worry not, I'll post a question if I'm right, within a few hours.

As Sudeep has already mentioned, Australia were the first side to hold 19 catches in a Test. Australia established a national record by conceding 52 extras in an innings. England equalled the world record by bowling 35 no-balls in the same innings.

I think he is correct. However, if he is not:

Rod Marsh reached 300 catches, set an Ashes record by holding 6 in an innings, and equalled GRA Langley's Australian record of nine in a match.

Geoff Lawson became the first bowler to take 11 wickets in an Ashes Test at Brisbane.

Any of these?

A fairly eventful Test match, wouldn't you say?

I think this one should be easy

What feat are Lance Gibbs and Curtley Ambrose the only ones to achieve at Port-of-Spain?
