Of all grounds to have hosted twenty Test matches or more, only two have never lost an entire day's play due to rain. Name them.
Come on, you lot!
If you read the Age last week (or haven't thrown it out yet) you'll have the answer.

Keep guessing, not 1, not 2 and yes Steve Waugh has done it. I think Brian Lara was the last to do it. So how many others.
BTW Ponting, Haydn and Gilchrist all need a century against Bangladesh to achieve the feat so the list should be added to in the future.

Over to you Mk33.mk33 said:
Waugh, Lara, Kirsten, Tendulkar, Dravid, Attapatu.
Kallis is missing Sri Lanka HS 87 and Big Inzy is missing South Africa HS 96
Gary Kirsten of South Africa was the first to accomplish the feat followed by Australia's Steve Waugh. But during the last six months, four batsmen have achieved the distinction. India's Sachin Tendulkar, with his career-best unbeaten knock of 248 off 379 balls against Bangladesh, completed his set while Rahul Dravid joined this club with his 160 off 304 balls against Bangladesh at Chittagong.
In April this year, Sri Lankan captain, Marvan Atapattu, with his 127 off 244 balls against New Zealand at Napier, had become the fifth batsman.
Out of the current test team to play in the boxing day test, how many players and which players made their test debut overseas ?
Test Team being Jacques, Hayden, Ponting, Hodge, Hussey, Symonds, Gilchrist, Lee, Warne, Bracken,McGrath, MacGill
