No, he only played Test cricket for one country.

I am trying to think of players who have played for SA and someone else, Did Jack Hearne play for both?
I also think Traicos (spelling) played for Zim and SA?

One of those two is right.

Dead right you are mate.
You and Archie can fight over who gets to ask the next question.
Engle asks just my sort of questions

WI 390 (Lara 221, Sarwan 69) & 262 (Lara 130, Sarwan 66)
SL 627 and 27/0
=================
50% of the team score is quite low and it is highly likely there are a few more cases. But you will get the above answer even if the percentage is above 70%
Re 50%, Zim v SAF 2001/2 is another example - A Flower scored 142 (out of 286) and 199* out 391. Since he scored more than half the score on his own in the second innings, any of several players who scored a few runs in the first innings can fulfil the 50% criteria. SAF won by 9 wickets.

This is another question where you can find the answer by going carefully through the scorecards.
When this happened in the Multan Test between Pakistan & India in 2003-04, some of us in another cricket forum set out to investigate how often it has happened in Test cricket. We found that, somewhat surprisingly, it has happened only four times in Tests (plus a couple of instances where it was a possibility but we could not confirm it from the scorecard).
These are the four Test matches -
Multan 2003-04 - http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/79/79332.html
SSC, 1999-00 - http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/68/68437.html
Johannesburg 1905-06 http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/6/6939.html and
MCG 1903-04 - http://cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/6/6399.html (in this case though, you cannot ascertain it from scorecard alone)
What is the minor incident that connects them ?

No, but in three of the four cases, one or more of the batsmen involved made ducks
No

Indeed, certainly more than a handful of times in all Test history.Welldone
You would think that it is fairly common, wouldn't you
Well done Engle, and good question Tapi - I wish I could devote the time to analysing your questions that they deserve, but sadly I think my work would notice if I was just pouring over scorecards all day...

Matthew Hayden has a diff of 177 (380-203) - can't be too many higher than that.
