Captains of opposing teams, Michael Clarke and Alastair Cook are reportedly set to share the same ground for their respective 100th Test in Perth this week.

In a rare and unusual event, as England and Australia would be playing against each other on Friday, Clarke and Cook are said to walk out for the coin toss for the start of the third Test that will mark a milestone in their careers.

According to news.com.au, Cook would have the rare and unfortunate duty of handing back the Ashes, that only David Gower (1989) and Andrew Flintoff (2007) have been forced to do amongst England captains during the past 30 years.

Meanwhile, if Clarke scores his 27th hundred, he would go past Mark Waugh to become Australia's fifth highest run scorer, the report added.
