OK then

What is the lowest score not to be made in First-Class cricket?
Hmmm...difficult one, I would think it would be a really low score or a really high score, probably the former.

1? :D

so we assume it is individual?
By the looks of things, yes.

The lowest score never scored in tests is 229 I think, no idea regarding first class matches.

From http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/sports_talk/stump_bearders/3230029.stm I don't know how reliable it is though

I presume you noticed that Murray Goodwin's recent 335* was (at least if I've read my Wisden correctly) the FIRST EVER individual score of 335 in first-class cricket. What is the lowest individual score NEVER scored in first-class cricket?

Goodwin is the first to score 335. The lowest first-class scores still to be recorded are 289, 326, 327, 328 and 330.

So is the answer 289?

Yes that is correct, so are the other scores. I made a mistake in sorting the triple centuries. The not out innings did not get sorted due to the asterix :)

Run out in a test for 99?

Being at the crease on all five days (one time or another)

Opening batting and bowling in the same match?
