Good shout. I think you got this, but if you don't I'm going with your answer with insurance.....highest world cup score


He broke the record for a World Cup score....which has subsequently been rebroken

Whole point to DFM

Sussex = 1pt
DFM = 1pt
GF = 0.5

Well I have no idea about this. Its around the time of the West Indies famously ill-fated tour of OZ where Lillee and Thommo smashed them apart, but Id have guessed any tours were long ended by the second part of February. Cant think of any firsts other than maybe being the first time Australia won 5 tests in a series, but the point is mute as already stated.

Is it going to be something ridiculous like the first team to release a song together or something. I cant think of anything on field

Ah, maybe the first team to field three brothers? Not sure when Trevor debuted, but there is a possible overlap

It is definitely a cricketing achievement....one specific to an opponent.
