Lee Germon's feat is unique - he was on Test and captaincy debut.....

while, CGdeV Burger was appearing in last Test innings

Prabhakar wasn't the top scorer in the second innings - Shastri scored
41 as opener.

Prabhakar was sent in at No.3 in the first innings of the next Test -
he was bowled round the legs first ball by Bruce Reid, and batted at
7-8-9 for the rest of the series.
