Jack and Ross Gregory?
I'm 99% sure they were not 'brothers', 'uncle and/or son of' more likely...
Ah, found it, Jack was the nephew of Ned and Dave, cannot find any reference to Ross...?

I met Merv Harvey in the early 60s when he played against my old man's team across the road from us at the Watsonia Tech ground in the now defunct RSL Comp.
I am assuming that this is Men's Cricket only?
The word "brothers" being the giveaway, I imagine.
Yeah, fair enough.
Lack of attention on my behalf. Could have sneaked in the Tredrea sisters otherwise.

McLeod's?
Unless there is the previously unknown "Sonsand" brothers who both played test cricket, you might be right.
Bit more info on Victor. Victor himself was a fine SANFL footballer. He was a 3 time premiership player for Sturt and Captain-Coach of them before the majority of his cricketing career. Played Test cricket at the same time as winning his final premiership for Sturt in 1926.
OK, complete, final list updated, well done all those who may or not have used Mr Google - and feel free to advise if you know of anymore 'Australian test brothers', up to 12 now....?

Already said, the Trumbles and the Trotts.
I did use Google for those 2 pairs, but I already knew about the Archers.
Sorry my bad, you still need to name the brothers on the list at 5. I have updated again with a hint.
EDIT, just read FredLeDeux post - yes Billy and Hugh Trumble, well done...ALL DONE - Someone else have a turn with a question.....?

I'm surprised noone mentioned that he was a Magarey Medallist.
Also represented SA and Aus in baseball. And represented SA in golf.
As you say, total freak.
Sorry, I forgot.
Is amazingly not in the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame from what I can see. Could also have a case to be in the Australian Football Hall of Fame as well.
Darrin and James Pattinson depending on how strict you are.
