The answer is Matthew Hayden,

he scored 1151 runs at 57.55 in the 1993 Tour, and did not make a test appearence.

Now heres another one, on that 1993 Tour who was the only player on that tour to have, not only didn't played a test on tour but also in their career?

Wayne Holdsworth.

Actually, Albert Trott doesn't hold the highest average (It's only 38 anyway). That belongs to Andy Ganteaume - one innings 112 runs.
Mohamed Nawaz of Sri Lanka currently averages 99.00

We know that mate, he holds the record for players who played for Australia.

Bradmans record will always be on top, its impossible to break that record.

Which batsman became the first to score centuries in his first three tests in Test cricket?

 

[Azkatro]

Was Wayne Holdsworth correct on the last question?

On the three centuries one, I'll have to think about it a bit but my first guess off-hand is M E Waugh.

Which batsman became the first to score centuries in his first three tests in Test cricket?

Mohammed Azharuddin from India, 110 on debut vs England at Calcutta in season 1984-85. I'm pretty sure the other 2 were against the poms as well.

Here's one-There is only one instance in history where a father and his son both scored centuries on debut. Who are they?

its gotta be most wickets, cause he hasnt played that many games for St.George.

 

[madunit]

Wrong answer

Ray Lindwall played 31 games for St.George (1940, 1942-43 & 1946) scored 7 tries and kicked 123 goals for a total of 267 points

He played 61 tests, and took 228 wickets

Good question though eh?
