Can you beat for the cricket guru title?

Is it a record by English county Surrey?

No (8)

 

[Sudeep]

LOL, an explanation for the weird question... A lot of three digit scores I could interpret from the sequence as Surrey's scores during their 1899 Championship win...

 

[Steulen]

Is it a sequence of partnerships?

 

[SJS]

I did interpret his clarifications to the 'white' question as meaning the team plays in white (i.e., it's not one-day cricket), but it is not a Test record. I therefore assume we're looking for a FC record set by a team from a country primarily inhabited by whites.

Well, the record could have been set when one day matches were played in whites !

 

[Sudeep]

Is it a sequence of partnerships?

It has nothing to do with partnerships, or so I understand...

 

[SJS]

Is it a sequence of partnerships?

Steulen, you must check earlier questions. It is not an individual record or a partnership record.
No query Marc

 

[Steulen]

Since it's pre-WWII, I think we can safely say it's not a one-day record.

<preparing to put foot in mouth>

 

[SJS]

I tried checking Victoria's record 1107 runs against NSW in an innings in 1926 but though the first wicket fell at 375, other digits dont match up

I beg to differ. My line of thinking is, it could be a highest team innings score world record with the sequence representing the 10 partnerships. Marc would then correctly have stated that it's not a individual or partnership world record.
But perhaps my interpretation of that particular Q&A is wrong

 

[marc71178]

Yes (9)

Can't ignore this one, even if it were wrong.

Got it !!

Still, that's too close for comfort. Perhaps the sequence includes minutes or balls face or some such?
Or we might as well ask the question:

Does the sequence refer to Victoria's 1107, made against NSW in 1926?

 

[marc71178]

You got it between you!

It is the 10 partnerships:

375
219
20
17
26
177
81
128
3
61

 

[SJS]

Got it !!

375 first wicket, 219second, 20 for third, 17 for foutrth, 26 (5th). 177(6th), 81(7th), 128(8th), 3(9th) and 61 for the last wicket partnership in Victoria's record 1107 runs agains New South Wales 1926-27 !!

So don't go saying I should read previous questions better, m'kay?

 

[marc71178]

Yes, but not sure which of you got it first, and i bet you didn't do it without looking up the scorecard

 

[SJS]

Yes boss !!

 

[Steulen]

I did not look up anything, that's why my Q's were rather vague until SJS put the flag on them .
Anyway, I'll be logging off in a few minutes so I'm happy to allow SJS to get the next teaser in.

 

[SJS]

I should have got it much earlier but I was looking at the fall of wickets instead of taking out the difference between them to get the partnership figure
