Correct - Callaway holds the record for the highest first class average in cricket history, after he scored 207 on debut before World War I.

Well done Tapioca!

I am the only person to do this in first class cricket. It's a bit sad that it is not too well known considering that the similar (not exactly the same) record in Test cricket is very well known.

My test record is average, but I am well known for a something I did in a particular Test. Later in the same series I was dismissed in a controversial, but perfectly legal, fashion. So

(a) Who am I ?

(b) What record do I hold in fcc ?

(c) For what am I famous in Tests ?

(d) What was the controversial dismissal ?

This one should get cracked in less that 10 questions :)

Edit : Changed 'feat' to 'something I did'

Q3. Oceania ? No

The 'feat' mentioned in the question is used in a general sense. It could mean anything famous/remarkable that he did on the cricket field (in this case it does not refer to a record) - even things like being called for chucking six balls in a row or punching a hole in the sight screen with a straight six :)

First "Cape Coloured" to play Test Cricket !!

Unusual dismissal when playing against West Indies- ball driven from the batsman hitting his boot and knocking the stumps and as Basil incorrectly thinking he was out started walking, (Reverend) Wes Hall picked up the ball and ran him out. :)
