Just a warning. If the question is not properly worded, you may get a reply which might misguide. So be very carefull in ensuring that the query has ONLY one meaning and is precise. BTW, this warning has nothing to do with the queries so far. :)

This is an example of a vague question.

For example it can mean a) are hyphens missing but decimals are not, b) are decimals missing but hyphens are not, c) are hyphens AND decimals BOTH missing and so on.

Would you like to rephrase the query or want me to answer it as it is ?

Was this record set in domestic cricket? (with this I mean all cricket except Tests/ODI's, FC/List A matches between touring and domestic sides and national A sides, and junior international cricket).

Just a clarification. Of course the digits are mixed in the sense, the spaces between them are removed (this is not an 18 digit record obviously) but they are not jumbled up, ie to say, they are in their correct sequence.

You mean non recognised cricket like school cricket, club cricket, village cricket etc ?

NO (Q9)

No, I meant to include domestic FC and List A cricket as well (e.g., Pura cup, County Championship). So NSW vs. Vic is domestic cricket, but NSW vs. New Zealanders is not. Does that change your answer? :whistling

Is it Tich Freemans run of wickets taken in 6 consecutive seasons?

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Well done.

Yes

1928 to 1933 he took 304, 267, 275, 276, 253 and 298 wickets making 1673 wkts in 6 seasons at 279 wickets per season.

Not only is his 304 the highest ever in a season and the 298 the second highest ever, these are six of the top 11 seasons wicket taking performances in history. Only two bowlers have ever taken more than 279 wickets in a season and he averaged 279 over six consecutive seasons.

Some Bowler.

Your turn for the next question. :)

Looks like it could be an amalgamation of bowling stats e.g 3000 over, 1200 maidens etc all rolled into one.

Another sequence of numbers - what does it represent?

Marc you have to say something besides putting these figures together. Like my question was :-

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

304267275276253298

What is that record ?

The digits are not jumbled up

and it is an individual's record.
