wax
As kids, while playing backyard cricket, you waxed with your team member who was at the other wicket. I have used this term with other ex-Victorians living in the Top End (Darwin), to mean partnering in a sporting sense: Let's wax; Jonno and Tez are waxing (batting) Also, whacks.
Contributor's comments: I remember it being used to indicate two participants in kick to kick sharing and taking turns. Whoever got the ball would either kick it or give it to their mate to kick depending on whose turn it was. To set it up one kid would say to the other "will you wax with me?"
Contributor's comments: I always understood it more generally, to mean `to play (any game) together as a team'. Two people can wax at Monopoly just as easily as at cricket.

Contributor's comments: We used waxing in primary school in the ACT but it appears to have died out shortly after as younger friends of mine are not familiar with it. It may have been imported by a public servant moving up from Melbourne.
Contributor's comments: I remember it being used as a general term to mean sharing the spoils of a cooperative effort. It was most commonly used in relation to kick to kick footy where waxing improved the overall possesions the waxing pair would gain. If someone asked you to wax with them and you were already committed, you were obliged to declare, "Sorry I'm already waxing" so its seems that the "max wax" was 2.
Contributor's comments: Also used in Adelaide in the 60s and 70s in the sharing kicks in football sense.
