Would be interesting to see. My guess would be not that many have actually accomplished it, at least not multiple times...

FFS, Coronis. You gave me a fright. I found your post in truncated form as part of Search results and thought for a second that Hadlee had died.
Tremendous work, BTW!

You were worried about Hadlee but not Rabada?! Shame!
Fun to note Walsh is the only one who played in multiple 6 test series to play in all 6 matches every series.

His name never showed up in the summary! I did notice later when I opened up your post that he had also "died"!

I discovered this a few months ago, something you probably already know, and was shocked: Walsh was superhuman over the last 11 1/2 months of his Test career. He played EIGHTEEN Test matches, took 84 wickets (WPM = 4.67) at an average of 20.25 while bowling a massive 151 BPI:
