I am at work so no access to books but try this:-

What have Greg Chappell, Donald Ramsamooj and Gerald Smithson all done?

Good spot Mr Z - fancy going back to this one?

Is it something about batting?

 

[fredfertang]

No, Yes and Yes

 

[zaremba]

Hmm
Does it relate to non-Test FC cricket?

 

[fredfertang]

Yes

 

[zaremba]

Sorry you may have missed my edit - non-Test FC cricket?

 

[fredfertang]

Yes - though there's no reason why what they all "did" couldn't be done in a Test, and indeed it may have been, but I don't think so

 

[zaremba]

Is it something statistical?

 

[fredfertang]

No, definitely not

 

[zaremba]

Do siblings come into it somehow?

 

[fredfertang]

No sibling or other family member involvement

 

[zaremba]

Did GSC do this in Australia?

 

[fredfertang]

Yes - he was bowling to John Inverarity at the time - the delivery hit the stumps and removed the bails, it was not a no ball, but Inverarity was not out

 

[Lillian Thomson]

They're all bird murderers?

A harsh judgment LT - barely manslaughter I'd say but either way you're spot on

 

[Jarquis]

Could add Rudolph to that list?
