Albert Trott, brother of Harry Trott.

8/43 on debut. Only batsmen to hit a ball over the Lord's Pavillion. First (and only one of two) bowlers to have taken two hattricks in the same innings in a first class game, his testimonial. 4 in 4 then later 3 in 3.

Patterson 144.00
* Trott 102.50 (3 Tests)
Bradman 99.94 (which is CA's postcode)

well worth reading about AE Trott on Wikipedia , left out of the 1896 tour to England (his brother helped select the touring party) went to England on the same boat , later played twice for England v South Africa which were awarded Test status after the event.

Technically though his batting average for Australia in Test cricket will always remain higher than the Don.

Funny you mention that:

Two hat tricks in a Test
Jimmy Matthews of Australia took two hat-tricks in the same Test against South Africa at Old Trafford in 1912. No other bowler has achieved it since. Matthews picked up both those hat-tricks on the same day in different innings of the match.

Wouldn't 4 in 4 and then later 3 in 3 actually be 3 hattricks?

Who Am I?

I'm a current AFL player.
It took me 85 games before I played against all the other 17 AFL teams, however before I played that last team, to give me "the full set", I had played against one team 11 times!!!

@Beg2Differ got the most films right.
Dustin Hoffman (as Ben Braddock) to Anne Bancroft (as Mrs Robinson) in the film “The Graduate”.

Trivia (via IMDB):
Dustin Hoffman was already set to play a role in Mel Brooks "The Producers (1967)" when the opportunity to audition for this movie came up. Deferentially, Hoffman asked Brooks' permission to audition for the part in the other film. Through his wife, Anne Bancroft (already cast), Brooks was familiar with the story of this movie. He allowed Hoffman to audition, blithely confident that Hoffman would be found unsuitable for the role of Mrs. Robinson's lover.

In his commentary for the 40th Anniversary Edition DVD, Dustin Hoffman reports that Bancroft had contracted not to do any topless scenes, and was adamant when it came to the early confrontation between Mrs. Robinson and Benjamin in Elaine's bedroom. So shooting stopped while someone went out to find a stripper on Sunset Strip who was willing to do the shots as a stand-in. But the first stripper who was brought in refused to remove her pasties, so the production had to find a second woman to do the shots.

Although Mrs. Robinson is supposed to be much older than Benjamin, Anne Bancroft and Dustin Hoffman were just under six years apart in age. He looked naturally boyish, and she was made up to look older. Bancroft was only eight years older than her "daughter" Katharine Ross. William Daniels (Mr. Braddock) only ten years older than his "son" Hoffman.

What 8 letter word can have a letter removed and without rearranging the letters it makes a 7 letter word, then have another letter taken away to make a 6 letter word, and so on until you have a 1 letter word?
