'Big achievement': Jason Gillespie secures major appointment as Pakistan Test coach

Western Australians Mitchell Marsh (211) and Sam Whiteman (174) rewrote the record books when they put on an amazing 371 for Australia A against India A in Brisbane on Tuesday.
This broke an 80-year-old record for a seventh-wicket partnership in all first class matches in Australia. So who held the record?
In 1934, in the New Year’s match against New South Wales, little-known Queenslanders WC Andrews and EC Bensted came together at 6 for 113 chasing New South Wales’ total of 318.
In the 336-run stand that followed, they both registered their highest first-class scores. Andrews made made 253 and Bensted scored 155. While they each played over 30 matches for their state, they never played for Australia.
Marsh and Whiteman put themselves into second place for the highest seventh-wicket stand anywhere in first class cricket. Who holds this record?
Again it involved two little-known cricketers, Pankaj Dharmani and Bhupinder Singh junior, who put on 460 for Punjab against Delhi in a 1994-95 Ranji Trophy semi final. Coming together at 6 for 298 in reply to 554, Singh was dismissed for 297, while Dharmani remained 202 not out. Dharmani played a single one-day international, scoring just 8 runs, while Singh never gained national selection despite averaging 46 in first-class cricket.
Can Marsh and Whiteman go on to greater things in cricket than these men? They certainly are both young and talented and must have gained great confidence from their efforts in Brisbane. What do you think Roarers?
