Lowest team total which included hundreds by both openers. WI was allout for 365 some six years ago against NZ after a 276 run opening stand by Adrian Griffith and Sherwin Campbell.

Assuming that it is the answer expected, I'll ask a dull one.

The Victorian wicket keeper Everard Baker is the only cricketer to do what ?

Not a record in the usual sense. To put in another way -

Alfred Hack, John Ellis, George Duckworth, Don Tallon, Oswald Lovelock, Arthur Wood, Haydn Davies, Baker, an Indian, and Eric Edrich are the only cricketers to do what ?

The list is in chronological order. Baker's feat is twice as good as the rest of them. The Indian's name is withheld because someone like SJS may crack it straightaway :)

archie : no

Is it a keeping achievement ? You may say so. You won't find them in a book of records but you may find the name of Eddie Baker in a book of trivia.
Is it something to be proud of ? Yes

Hint 1 : Look when they all played cricket.
