Have three brothers ever played in the same first-class fixture?
And have twins ever dismissed each other before in a match?

Two Australian fast bowlers lead the way when it comes to the most wickets in a debut Test series. Terry Alderman took 42 wickets in England in 1981, beating by one the 41 of Rodney Hogg in the 1978-79 Ashes in Australia. Both of those were six-match series: the record for a five-Test rubber on debut is 36 wickets, by the Australian legspinner Arthur Mailey against England in 1920-21. Colin Croft came close with 33 in his maiden series, for West Indies against Pakistan in 1976-77.
The background to this is that Ben Curran, the brother of the Surrey and England pair Tom and Sam Curran, plays for Northamptonshire - and they have just won promotion, so will play against Surrey in Division One of the County Championship next season.
Don Bradman turned 36.25% of his Test innings - 29 out of 80 - into hundreds, and you're right to assume that is the best percentage in Tests, given a minimum of ten centuries. The next best is 25% by the West Indian George Headley (40 innings, ten centuries). Next comes Steve Smith, who currently has 26 centuries from 124 innings, or just under 21%.
The Lancashire legspinner Matt Parkinson celebrated his call-up for England's tour of New Zealand by dismissing his identical twin brother, Leicestershire's Callum Parkinson, in the final round of 2019 County Championship matches at Grace Road last week. Callum, who's a slow left-armer, got his revenge by dismissing Matt, also lbw, when Lancashire batted.
The match you're talking about was in Al Amerat in February: Scotland skittled Oman for 24. It wasn't actually an official one-day international, as Oman don't have the required status, but it was the fourth-lowest total in any List A (senior one-day) game, as this list shows. Remarkably, the very next day, also in Al Amerat, Oman turned the tables, scoring 248 for 8 and beating Scotland by 93 runs.
