Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

[Burpey]

Maybe I could've phrased the question better.
If I said it was a milestone reached, rather than a feat acheived, and that batting is one part of the milestone, would the question be easier?

Nah, it's no problem at all. I have been known to ask such vague questions as well. You just have to make sure you regularly answer people's questions so interest doesn't fade away.

EDIT: Is it a career milestone?

 

[Jamee999]

10,000 Test runs?

 

[tadeusz]

Batting is PART OF the feat.
It IS a feat acheived over one's career.
It is NOT 10,000 Test runs.

 

[Burpey]

Is it a Test feat?

 

[tadeusz]

The feat involves, but is not limited to, Test matches.

 

[Jamee999]

25,000 FC Runs and 2000 FC Wickets?

 

[tadeusz]

25,000 FC Runs and 2000 FC Wickets?

No, but you're on the right track.

 

[Jamee999]

20,000 FC Runs and 2,400 FC Wickets?

 

[aussie tragic]

36000 FC Runs and 1800 FC Wickets?

WG Grace: 54211 runs @ 39.45 & 2809 Wkts @ 18.14
JW Hearne 37252 runs @ 40.98 & 1839 Wkts @ 24.42
GH Hirst 36356 runs @ 34.13 & 2742 Wkts @ 18.73

It is not X FC Runs and X FC Wickets

Are any of the players named in aussie tragic's post involved in the answer?

No.

Then why did you say Jamee999 was on the right track with 25,000 FC Runs and 2000 FC Wickets

 

[JASON]

Is it to do with an Allround performance (ie Runs and wickets, or Runs and catches as a fielder or runs and dismissals as a wicket keeper ) ?

If above correct is wicket keeping part of the achievement ?

It is not x FC runs and x FC wickets.

It is to do with an allround performance, but not wicketkeeping.

Has Wilfred Rhodes achieved this feat?

 

[tadeusz]

Wilfred Rhodes has not acheived this feat.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Has Chris Cairns achieved this feat?

 

[aussie tragic]

Only five players to make 7000 runs and 350 Wkts in International Cricket (i.e Test & ODI)

Players are:

C. Cairns (8270 Runs & 419 Wkts)
I. Botham (7313 Runs & 528 Wkts)
K. Dev (9031 Runs & 687 Wkts)
J. Kallis (16028 Runs & 403 Wkts)
I. Khan (7516 Runs & 544 Wkts)

Btw, I think this is not an approriate question as there could be hundred's of "correct" answers, e.g. the above, or 8,000 runs & 250 wkts, or 10,000 runs & 100 wkts, etc..... it could go on forever IMO.
