Without cheating, guess what number the current Aus vs SA test is, as in the total list of all tests played. Helpful hint: it’s between 2482 and 2492.

Here’s one: list every Test batsman, ever, who has made at least 7,000 Test runs at an average of 60 or better? Then do the same list, just for Australia.

^ Career average, rather than having an average of 60 at some point along the way.

Run outs, run outs, run outs...
According to Ch. 7,
in Tests, Steve Waugh was involved in 27 run outs (i.e. batting when there was a run out). How many times was Steve Waugh run out, and how many times was his batting partner?
[If a hint is needed, I'll post one later.]
