I guess that means I get to ask the next question...
Q. In Australian test cricket history, why is the score of 514 significant?
Largest partnership?
Lowest score never made?

Don't think it can be that. I don't think we have ever scored a total of 2, for example.
No....but you are sort of on the right track.
Lowest score we've scored in an innings and then lost?

From what I've found we've scored 514 twice in tests, one was a win and one was a draw. Both were scored in the first innings of the test. I'm stumped.
We also declared both of those innings
I'll give a clue (this may give it away)...
514 is the lowest score where what has never happened?

a bye?
A century? Or half century?

no ball?
I notice that when Australia scored 513 nobody scored a century but both times we scored 514 at least one player scored a century
Correct!!
514 is the lowest score that Australia has never had a Fall of Wicket.
The next lowest is 525.
479, 482, 484 and 512 are the lowest where we have only had one FOW.
Surprisingly, we have had 11 FOW on 511.
The scores with the most FOW's recorded are:
0 = 92 wickets
7 = 54
126 = 52
1 = 51
13 = 51
The highest score where we have lost a wicket is 758.

Ok - my turn.
When and what was the first time 2 Australian aborigines played on opposite sides in a first class match? (Not a trick question - it was in Australia).
For bonus points - what did the two players in question have in common?

He said in Australia. Would agree with the players though. Gillespie for SA, Christian for NSW? Guess the thing they had in common was they were both Redbacks at one stage?

Ah right, me no read good. I don't think Christian ever played a Shield game for NSW (edit, he didn't, here's his fc debut http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/298334.html), so that's out.
was just thinking it could involve Josh Lalor, but he hasn't played a shield game against Victoria or SA.
now we're looking right back to 1900's stuff imo. got no idea

Who was the Indigenous bloke who gave Bradman grief? Eddie Gilbert?
Have no idea how many others there have been.
