Nope
In just my third first class game for Victoria, I was chosen to captain an experimental youth XI in a friendly match vs Tasmania. By the end of a near 8 hour innings, I had wracked up 429 runs of my teams 1059 all out, both First class records for individual and team scores. The score created much controversy at the time, as Tasmania were not a recognized first class team, although matches between Australian states and Tasmania were counted on FC totals. Despite major protests from the previous record holder, Wisden printed the record had been broken, and it officially stood.
None of this mattered.... 4 years later both records would be broken again. I scored 437 in my teams total of 1107 in a Shield game v Queensland in 1926/27. The later record still stands today as the largest FC score recorded by a team.
I remain one of only 2 players in the history of the game to score 400 twice. Brian Lara the only other man.
