Clue - Answer to two of these is a single Test Match which is found in Page 103 of this thread !

The other instance of a player taking over as Umpire is only a couple of years after this .

5th test at Melbourne 1984-85
Original Umpires GJ Hodges and J Phillips

TW Garrett deputised for umpire Hodges when the latter refused to stand after tea on the third day because of England's complaints about his decisions. JC Allen stood for Phillips on the third and fourth days. McShane played in this Test after umpiring in the previous one.

2nd test at Sydney 1986-87
Original Umpires : C Bannerman and JS Swift.

W Gunn both played and deputised as umpire in this match on the final morning when Swift was absent.

You hint made it very very simple. :p

Can I comment on your proposed new rules?

As someone who visits only occasionally but likes to read the thread, the new rules would be a deterrent to participation; under these rules, if you get to ask a question you would have to be around most of the time to answer the yes/no queries until someone gets the answer. This is impossible for many of us, with work or other commitments. The way it stands now, you can participate even if you can only drop by once in a while...

Just a thought.

The following digits, all put together, constitute a record.

304267275276253298

What is that record ?

The digits are not jumbled up :p

and it is an individual's record.

Q2: is it a record that was set within one match?

Disclaimer: I know this set of rules was supposed to go into a new thread; let's just call this a pilot :p

BTW, if someone makes a query which has already been done before and I answer it again as yes or no or not relevant, it still counts as a query.

So, to summairze then: we're looking for the record that's hidden behind the sequence 304267275276253298. It's an individual's record that was not set within one match. Neither does it refer to a sequence of innings. It is not a batting record. The individual concerned does not play Test/ODI cricket (anymore).
