4 legends who played their first and last test at the same ground

#1 Ricky Ponting (Perth)

Ponting lead Aussies to unprecedented success around the globe

Widely regarded as Australia's next best batsman after Sir Don Bradman, Ricky Ponting led the 'invincibles' of the noughties to success all across the globe in both tests and ODIs.

In 168 tests, Ponting finished as the second leading run-scorer in tests at 13378 runs at an average of 51.85 including 41 hundreds.

A young man from Tasmania sporting a french beard, burst on to the international arena in 1995 against Sri Lanka at now-defunct W.A.C.A ground, Perth scoring 96. After having three quite years in test cricket, his career took off in 1999-00.

On November 29, 2012, a day before the Australia vs South Africa test at Perth, Ponting announced his retirement from test cricket.

Even though he had a terrible last series with the bat scoring only 32 runs at an average of 6.4, his average in his last year in test cricket remained respectable at 42.
