6. The first centurion:

Australian opener Charles Bannerman scored 165 runs in the first innings and became the first man to hit a century in international cricket. With 18 fours, he scored almost 70% of the team’s total score all alone!

– Australia won this first test with an innings and 45 runs, and perhaps that is the confidence behind the Australians’ dominant nature since then!
