Good question. Tough without being obscure

The last five players to have done this are Nasser Hussain, Aravinda de Silva, Saeed Anwar, Murray Goodwin and Mohammad Azharuddin (players who are likely to play more tests excluded). Three Indians have done this, the others being Vijay Manjrekar and Vijay Merchant.

What feat is this ?

Then the odd man out is Azhar (because he fielded in the covers quite a bit rather than the slips IIRC) or Viv Richards (because he also fielded more in the field rather than in the slips) , while everyone else in that list of 20 are slip fielders.
