Q 10 Is it a cricket record ? Yes.SJS said:
Hint 1- is the following joke .There never has been a more aggressive spin bowler, wrote David Frith in The Slow Men, and the aggression came out in his captaincy, his famous full-throated appealing ( When ........... appeals at The Oval, as the old joke said, someone’s out at Lord’s.) and his marvellous catching.
Hint 2 - He was part of a winning combination.

Yes I did. To make it more specific. He may have taken seven hat tricks (which is an all time record) and you could still say NO if that was not the record you had in mind !!!JASON said:Q 11 Is the record the number of hat tricks he took (namely seven) ? No
Any pooling of information may help the others too in getting the answer !!
I think SJS you changed this question twice, before my very eyes.
biased indian
International Coach
Graham Anthony Richard Lock
His final years were overshadowed by two allegations of ***ual abuse involving young girls
Tony Lock is the holder of the record for the most number of runs scored in first-class cricket without a century
sorry i didnt see the whole question

What's the other ? What about the record ?
His new method was far more effective but produced mutterings about its legitimacy. In 1952 he was called up for the Old Trafford Test against India, and took four for 36 in the second innings. But a week later, when Surrey played the tourists at The Oval, he was no-balled three times in two overs for throwing his quicker ball.
Raising the beam at the Croydon nets helped restore something of Lock’s original action, but he was again called for throwing in the West Indies in 1953–54 and for a time he refrained from bowling his faster ball. It was this delivery which drew the legendary lament from Doug Insole, the Essex captain, to the square-leg umpire when he was bowled by Lock in fading light: How was I out then—run out?
