Congratulations Mate, on getting onto a slightly difficult clue !!
I was half going to make it easier by suggesting -
Has a Stand at SCG named after him !!
But held back for not wanting to make it too easy !!
Now what are the records ?
Wisden obituary
During his long career, Monty Noble showed exceptional ability in every detail of the game, and by many people was regarded as the greatest all-round cricketer produced by Australia. He excelled as a batsman, bowler, fieldsman and captain, notably in placing his field to block a batsman’s favourite strokes. Born in Sydney on January 28, 1873, Noble made a name in junior cricket and went to New Zealand with a New South Wales team in 1893, while in the following season he scored 152 not out for Sydney Juniors’ Eighteen against A. E. Stoddart’s team. That performance secured Noble a trial in the New South Wales eleven, and he gradually established himself as a cricketer of outstanding merit. Playing in four Tests in the 1897–98 season, when Stoddart’s second team gained only one victory, Noble had the best bowling average on either side, and he remained a notable figure in Australian cricket until 1920, when he retired, having scored 14,245 runs and taken 654 wickets in first-class matches.
Noble again was the best all-rounder in the second team captained by Joe Darling. During this 1902 tour he made his highest score in England — 284 at Hove against Sussex, he and Warwick Armstrong putting on 428, then a world record, for the sixth wicket. He stood out among his colleagues with 1,416 runs, average 32.93, next to Victor Trumper, and 98 wickets at less than 20 runs apiece, Hugh Trumble and J. V. Saunders being more effective with the ball.
Three years later Darling lost the toss to F. S. Jackson, now Sir Stanley, in all five Tests, and England carried off the honours with two victories in the only decisive games. Noble obtained most runs — 2,084 in the tour, average 44.34 .
His most notable bowling performance for Australia against England was at Melbourne in January 1902. In the first innings of the very strong team captained by A. C. MacLaren he dismissed seven men for only 17 runs, and six in the second innings at 10 runs apiece — 13 wickets in the match at the very small cost of 77 runs.
Figures prove that there has not been a superior all-round Test player. In 39 matches against England, Noble scored 1,905 runs, average 30.72, and took 115 wickets, average 24.78; George Giffen in 31 matches scored 1,238 runs and took 103 wickets; Wilfred Rhodes in 41 matches scored 1,706 runs and took 109 wickets — these are the only three performers of the double in Test cricket.
Unable to continue a banking career when occupied so much with first-class cricket, Noble qualified in dentistry. As a lecturer on cricket he gained wide popularity in Australia, and his book, Gilligan’s Men, gave graphic descriptions of events that happened in the 1924–25 season.

"Noble again was the best all-rounder in the second team captained by Joe Darling. During this 1902 tour ."
" Three years later Darling lost the toss to F. S. Jackson, now Sir Stanley, "
The above extract from Monty Noble's obituary confirms what I said in answer to Biased Indian's question !! Sir Stanley Jackson was the first cricketer to be knighted !! Having been knighted as far back as 1905 !!
Getting back to the question - What are the records ? One a batting record , he holds on his own.(No one else appears to have even come close to equalling it ). The other shared with others is not a batting record !
By the way he also still holds the record 6th wicket partnership record for Australia in First Class Cricket of 428 with Warwick (Big Ship) Armstrong after 103 years of setting the record !!
