After some research I have found that this has happened 31 times in all first class matchessince 1870, including Pat Pocock in that match in 1972.

A.E. Trott took 4 in 4 balls and another hat-trick in the same innings in 1907, in his benefit match.

Laker, Lock, Trueman and Mike Proctor all took 4 career hat-tricks, but the overall record is 7 by a bloke whose name I forget.

Gul Mohammad, Abdul Kardar and Amir Elahi have played Test Cricket for both India and Pakistan

Surprisingly few since Pakistan was made out of a corner of India.

Jason Gillespie is the only player to have ever finished his test career on a double century and the only player to be dropped after making a double century

G. Boycott was dropped for the next test after scoring 246 not out too slowly against India in 1967.
