Victor Thomas Trumper (2 November 1877 – 28 June 1915) was an Australian cricketer known as the most stylish and versatile batsman of the Golden Age of cricket, capable of playing match-winning innings on wet wickets his contemporaries found unplayable.  He was the first cricketer to score 7 and 8 centuries in Test match cricket.

Reginald Alexander "Reggie" Duff (17 August 1878 – 13 December 1911) was an Australian cricketer who played in 22 Tests between 1902 and 1905.  He made his Test debut against England at Melbourne in 1901–02 and scored 104 after being held back until No. 10 in the second innings due to a bad pitch. This was the first instance of a No. 10 scoring a hundred on debut and one of only four centuries from that low in the order by anyone.  He also scored a century in his last Test match, becoming the first batsman to score a century on Test debut as well as to score a century in his farewell Test match.

William Peter Howell (29 December 1869 - 14 July 1940) was an Australian cricketer who played in 18 Tests from 1898 to 1904.  He was born in Penrith, New South Wales and died in Castlereagh, New South Wales.  Howell played in his first test match against England at Adelaide Oval in January 1898 and made two trips to England in 1899 and 1902, and to South Africa in 1902.

James Joseph Kelly (10 May 1867 – 14 August 1938), nicknamed 'Stumper', was a wicket-keeper who played for Australia and New South Wales.  He was Australia's first choice Test keeper from 1896 to 1905 and named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1903. He toured England four times (1896, 1899, 1902 and 1905) and was also an able batsman, with a first-class average of 19.94 and a highest score of 108*. His career came to an end from medical advice, as he was struck above the heart while keeping during a test at Old Trafford.
