Answer 2

Way back in the 1894-95 season (December of 1894 to be exact) the Aussies scored 586 against the English at Sydney in the first test of the series, only to end up losing the match by 10 runs. England scored only 325 in their first innings and were lead by 261 runs. Following on they made a huge 437 setting the Aussies 177 to win. The great left arm orthodox spinner Bobby Peel then bowled almost unchanged to take 6-67 from 30 overs and help skittle out the Aussies for 167.
