QUESTION: I am looking for a special link between the players on this list - John Blackham, Sid Gregory, Charlie Kelleway, Don Bradman, Neil Harvey, Bob Simpson, Graeme Wood, Steve Waugh, and Ricky Ponting. What is it?

There are many similarities shared by these nine players, but what I am looking for is something specific and interesting

Q1: Is it related to Test cricket? Yes
Q2: Is it to do with Batting? No
Q3: is it to do with captaincy? No
Q4: is it to do with bowling? No
Q5: Is it to do with Keeping? No

CLUE #1: Ricky Ponting could be replaced by quite a few players who played for Australia in their most recent Test match at the SCG v Pakistan 2-5 Jan 2005

Q6: They've all won test matches against Pakistan? No
Q7: In fact, they've all won the Ashes? May be true, but not what I am looking for
Q8: Between them starting with Blackham and ending with Ponting at least one of them has played in every Test Australia has played. Because Australia play quite a settled team players like Hayden, Langer, Gilchrist could replace Ponting? No
Q9: One of them played in every test SERIES Australia has played ? May be true, but not what I am looking for
Q10: Their last test matches were New Year's Test matches? (2nd Jan ones) No

CLUE #2: Think about dates

Their birthdats dont match, neither do their debuts, or last tests - in what other ways can we think about dates, and I'm not bothered to find out what day they got their highest score on.

In a list they played their debut match in the same ground where the previous player played his last test
