Since the foundation of the Football League in 1888, which non-league team has gone the furthest in the FA Cup?

I want to say Yeovil or Sutton or Forest Green because I seem to remember a new record being set recently but I bet someone made the final in 1901 or something. Will keep thinking. Must. Not. Google. It.

[WG Kaspar]

Yeah didn't Spurs reach the final as a non-league team or even won it early 1900?

[Rayge]

You got the team, Nikki got the year – Spurs won it in 1901 while playing in the southern league. Your question?

[WG Kaspar]

Which opening partnership has the 2nd highest average in the history of test cricket?

[Diamond Dog]

Which opening partnership has the 2nd highest average in the history of test cricket?

It's probably someone newer but I know Greenidge & Haynes had a phenomenal average together.

[Nikki Gradual]

Greenidge and Haynes must be top, surely. So:
First guess: Cook and Strauss
Second guess: Taylor and Slater

[WG Kaspar]

You need to go back in time for this one and I should say they must have played at least 20 inning together.

[Diamond Dog]

Hobbs/Sutcliffe?

[WG Kaspar]

Hobbs/ Sutchliffe is the top one.

[Diamond Dog]

Hobbs/ Sutchliffe is the top one.

So not the right answer?

[WG Kaspar]

Hobbs/ Sutchliffe is the top one.

So not the right answer?

The only reason I didn't ask for the top opening partnershp was because I thought it was too obvious. Hobbs/Sutchciffe averaged 87 in 38 innings. The second is good but not close.

[WG Kaspar]

Go further back.

[Diamond Dog]

There is further back?!

[Diamond Dog]

Must be Hobbs still... he batted for decades....

[WG Kaspar]

Yeah Hobbs is one of them

[Diamond Dog]

Yeah Hobbs is one of them
