These two players are the only cricketers from this country to have achieved this feat. The feat in question has less to do with overall cricketing talent and more to do with their importance to the team.

Q6: Is it to do with test cricket? Yes
Q7: Were the players selected in the test side as batsmen? No - only one of them

Q9: Is one of them Brian Booth? No

Just to make it easier, when I said that the second player achieved the same exact feat, I meant the feat being that the player also played cricket starting in 1970s, playing through 80s, and into 90sMatt79 said:
