I think Steve Waugh did it a couple of times. Usually it is a gun bowler who's had a few not outs..that would be your candidates. Pretty impressive though from the great allrounder!

Maybe someone like Gary Sobers, Imran Kahn or even maybe lately Freddie Flintoff. If it wasn't for Warne he would have topped the bowling averages in the last Ashes, not 100% sure where he was on the batting list but he would have been close to top...

I'd have thought Flintoff or Kallis would've come close a couple of times.
