Is it a rare achievement/luxury that India and England have used the same XI in all three Tests?

How did you track the results so quickly?
Nothing special - just trawling through the relevant Cricinfo stats page.

And what are the results for series of 2 Tests or longer?
This would require too much work. :) Both sides used eleven players in the recent NZ v SL series (2006/7), but I can't be bothered checking any further back. There are probably several other examples.

Fair enough. Thanks a lot for the stats on series of three Tests. I suppose it would be equally easy to find out what percentage of all series have been 3-match affairs and so forth?

Since I can't find it off-hand, it's probably take me half an hour or so.
